One of the smallest pontoons we do, this mini pontoon is road transportable behind our 3.5t vehicles and is ideal for short notice deployment and quick jobs. The narrow width makes it particularly suitable for working under jetties and piers with a tight pile pattern, as well as on canals, rivers and other tricky to reach locations. With the addition of a 30hp high thrust outboard and clip-on steering console, it can make 5 knots as a vessel.

Note: Above are indicative guidelines. Specific limits will be set for each project based on operating environment, load type, activity and the RAMS for that project.
A 30 hp outboard mounted in one of our small engine frames and controlled by a clip-on console with steering and throttle gives a service speed of around 5 knots. Alternatively we can supply a separate safety/work boat to manoeuvre it into position.
As standard, all our pontoons come with a stability board produced by our Naval Architect, TG20 compliant edge protection and MGN469 compliant safety equipment.
We also supply a specific load assessment and limits for the planned scope of works and additional certifications when necessary or requested:
Our floats are available only for hire, and we are very strict about this, even though people constantly ask if they can buy the floats. We do this to maintain control over how the system is used. We make sure that every project has a proper design and stability assessment, and that we have overseen or checked the RAMS. Safety is one of the things our customers like most about ScaffFloat. Therefore, it is vital that we maintain our track record, and to do this we need to retain some control.
The Marine side: We work within the frameworks of several regulatory bodies which cover manning, safety equipment, stability standards and minimum freeboards
Scaffolding Regulations: Most of TG20:13 and other scaffold regulations are not relevant to what we do, but we do use elements of it for things like edge protection.
Lifting:
Structural Design: If the project requires it, we use the below frameworks to assess structure. On larger projects we can also offer customers an independent Cat 3 check by our partner Richter; this gives our customers reassurance that we have taken a safe and prudent approach to our design and planned method of works.
