1200 LITRE FLOTATION MODULE
The 1200 Litre Flotation Module was designed for commercial applications and large residential docks. The modules are instrisically very stable and have inbuilt horizontal lugs for assembly to framework with fasteners. Floats can be filled with water or concrete to add ballast to increase stability. Ballast can also be used to raise and lower the float for different freeboard requirements. The 1200 Litre float can take upto 540kg each. Floats can also be foam filled for extra security if required. When foam filled they can take upto 800kg each
2000mm Long x 1200mm wide x 520 deep
Product weight 62kg, 105kg foam filled.

We recommend that you use our drawings to build your own pontoon but of course you don't have to. We have supplied floats to people to build their own pontoon since 1980. Here are just some of the pontoons people have built themselves. If the pontoon you would like to build is not listed in the above standards, please let us know as we probably have a drawing for the size you would like. We can supply a kit for any size pontoon.
