BoatBuster barriers are barrel style booms engineered for use on large bodies of water and/or rough water conditions. Each fully assembled BoatBuster unit measures 3-feet in diameter x 4-feet long (dia 92 cm x 122 cm) long and features an engineered internal steel axle used to transfer load from one unit the next while providing a common point for connecting units together.
BoatBuster actually consists of two fully foam filled half-shell float units bolted together over an internal central axle. BoatBuster is big in size and big in capability. Delivering nearly 1,800 lbs of buoyancy per unit, these floats re virtually unsinkable. Don’t let the size fool you however. Each unit has just a 5-inch draft which means 87% of the barrier is visible above water. And these units can be supplied with frontal graphics, reflective marine tape and alternating colors.
BoatBuster can be used as single float units strung together in line to form a highly visible safety barrier, or they can be mounted to custom designed axles and other steel fabrications to form project specific barriers. BoatBuster half shell units can be used for dock construction and for special floating platforms.
