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.
