Push. Carry. Support. Powered Boats That Do It All.
Reaching hard-to-access sites is part of maintenance and management. From moving hoppers to transporting materials or providing on-site welfare during canal maintenance and dredging projects, our powered boats are built for inland waterways.
With shallow-draft tugs, carrying punts, and dedicated welfare vessels, we offer reliable solutions suited to even the most access-restricted sites.
Whether you’re pushing equipment, ferrying teams, or inspecting remote assets, we’ve got a safe, reliable boat for the job. Available with or without an operator.
