Series S-50
Series S-50 Modular Pontoons
Designed for use in assemblies requiring up to 300-ton operational load capacities, Series S-50 equipment offers portability that can be transported by conventional tractor/trailers.
The S-50 Series (Depth: 5.0 ft, Width: 10.0 ft, Length: 20-40 ft) supports over 600,000 lbs and can be combined in modular configurations with multiple units to meet diverse project needs. It is commonly used in marine construction for tasks such as supporting cranes with up to 100-ton capacity, flotation and bridging in heavier material and equipment transport projects, as well as in dam and bridge construction, mid-range bucket dredging, and oil well servicing. Additionally, the S-50 are often used in support roles where the higher load capacity of our Series S-70 equipment is required for main platforms
