This platform can be used in a variety of different ways depending
on the farmers requirements.
Harvesting
The raft can be fitted with a powerpack to run various applications
hydraulically such as a paddlewheel, airlift or a brailler. The
raft can be fitted with a harvesting line and provide a storage
area for bins. It is easily towed short distances with an outboard
and longer distances with a larger boat. Depending on the load profile
the raft can draw as little as 1 metre so allowing access to tidal
piers.
Net
changing/farm maintenance
The raft can be fitted with a crane on a base supplied by us which
can be used to change nets and other routine farm operations requiring
a crane or a capstan.
Food
storage
By fitting a crane the raft can be used to store food for boats
to take off that may otherwise be unable to access a suitable pier.
It can also be used to site an automatic feeding system for the
smaller farm using bulk bags. A boat can be unloaded by the crane
and the hopper filled by the same crane. Load carrying capacity
can be easily accommodated at the design stage and all steelwork
galvanised. The raft can be delivered by road as it is easily disassembled.
