Frequently Asked Questions - 900 Litre Flotation Module 1. What is the 900 Litre Flotation Module? The 900 Litre Flotation Module is a versatile polyethylene float designed for marina finger pontoons, residential docks, floating walkways, work platforms and commercial marine applications. 2. What is the primary purpose of the 900 Litre float? The float was originally developed as a finger pontoon float for large marinas, providing excellent buoyancy while maintaining a narrow profile. 3. What material is the 900 Litre Flotation Module made from? The float is rotationally moulded from durable marine-grade polyethylene that offers excellent impact resistance and long service life. 4. Is the 900 Litre Flotation Module Australian made? Yes. The 900 Litre Flotation Module is proudly manufactured in Australia by Marine Dock Systems and Dynaplas Pty Ltd. 5. What is the maximum load capacity of the 900 Litre float? The standard maximum recommended load is approximately 400kg per float. 6. What is the load capacity when foam filled? When foam filled, the float can support loads of up to approximately 650kg per float. 7. Can the float be foam filled? Yes. Foam filling provides additional flotation security and peace of mind in critical marine applications. 8. Can ballast be added to the float? Yes. Water or concrete ballast can be added to improve stability and adjust freeboard levels. 9. What is freeboard? Freeboard is the distance between the water surface and the top of the pontoon deck. Ballast can be used to increase or decrease freeboard as required. 10. Is the float suitable for residential docks? Yes. The 900 Litre Flotation Module is ideal for residential docks where increased buoyancy and higher freeboard are required. 11. Can the float be used in marina finger pontoons? Yes. Marina finger pontoons are one of the most common applications for the 900 Litre Flotation Module. 12. Is the float suitable for industrial applications? Yes. The float is regularly used for industrial work platforms, mixer pontoons, water treatment systems and utility pontoons. 13. Can the float be used in fish farming applications? Yes. The 900 Litre float is suitable for fish farm pontoons and aquaculture structures requiring reliable flotation. 14. Is the float resistant to saltwater? Yes. Polyethylene construction provides excellent resistance to saltwater, corrosion and marine growth. 15. Can the float be used in freshwater environments? Yes. The float performs exceptionally well in lakes, rivers, dams and freshwater marinas. 16. Does polyethylene absorb water? No. Polyethylene is non-absorbent and will not become waterlogged over time. 17. Does the float require maintenance? Very little maintenance is required due to the corrosion-resistant and UV-stabilised polyethylene construction. 18. Are engineering drawings available? Yes. Detailed engineering drawings are available including Drawing A4-0279 and a range of marina finger pontoon and platform designs. 19. What applications can the 900 Litre Flotation Module be used for? Applications include marina fingers, residential docks, floating walkways, work platforms, fish farm pontoons, industrial mixer pontoons, utility platforms and floating structures. 20. Why choose the Marine Dock Systems 900 Litre Flotation Module? The 900 Litre Flotation Module provides high buoyancy, Australian-made quality, polyethylene durability, ballast flexibility, foam-fill capability and proven performance in both commercial and residential marine environments. |
