Vegetation clearing

ScaffFloat can access some tricky areas for tree removal and vegetation clearance

SacffFloat pontoons have a shallow draft which allows them to gain access to river banks or other shores that are inaccessible to many other vessels and can be useful for clearing vegetation or trees that are not accesible via land.

Additionally, the pontoons can carry small machinery and plant such as chippers and diggers.

For tree removal, we can provide ScaffFloat pontoons with a bow ramp that drops bellow the water and 12v winch to haul up any tree sections that need to be removed from site.
