25 Tonne Raft
Click for big picture25 Tonne Raft, Loch Etive, Scotland

 Measuring 12m x 14m this raft has 140 square metres of hanging space and is capable of holding 400 mussel droppers and a wet weight of mussels of 25 to 30 tonnes.

This raft is made from the best materials for a long maintenance free working life. Two buoyancy pontoons support the hanging rafters and provide a safe non-slip loading and work area. Other design features include an unsinkable buoyancy system, heavy duty mooring points and attachments, easy transportation and assembly. All steel components are hot dip galvanised to BS729 and each raft is supplied with a recovery ladder and life ring. The raft can easily be fitted with predator nets to prevent bird predation.

Material Specification

All steel to European Standard EN 10025 S275. All joists hot rolled to BS4360. Galvanising to BS729 or DIN 50976 minimum size coating of 110 microns. All fixing bolts hot dip galvanised M88 high tensile. Flotation unit cases are rotationally moulded in PE with a minimum wall thickness of 6mm and subsequently filled with a closed cell polyurethane foam.
35 Tonne Raft
Click for big picture35 Tonne Raft, Loch Etive, Scotland

 Measuring 14m x 14.5m this raft has 160 square metres of hanging space and can hold up to 22 hanging rafters. A maximum carrying capacity of 35 to 40 tonnes is recommended. The buoyancy supplied with the raft is usually tailored to customer requirements. As with the 25 tonne raft, this model is constructed from the best quality materials and utilises the longest currently available steel beams to maximise the usage of space and minimise the cost. This raft has three buoyancy pontoons supporting the steel joists and is assembled on site using high tensile galvanised nuts and bolts. The raft provides a safe and stable work platform which can withstand conditions in semi-sheltered sites experiencing wave heights of 1.8 metres SWH, above this and stock loss may become a problem. Other design features include; unsinkable closed cell PU filled buoyancy units, six heavy duty mooring points, emergency recovery ladder and life ring, easy transportation and assembly. The raft can easily be fitted with predator nets to prevent bird predation.

Long Lines
Mussel Lines , SCOTLANDMussel Lines , Scotland

On some sites, long lines may be more suitable than rafts. If predation by ducks is not an issue then the long line system is very cost efficient but may require larger more sophisticated items of equipment to handle the stock. Our long line float system has been tried and tested over many years. We offer two different sizes of float, 300 litre or 400 litre. Both are made from UV resistant polymers, are dark grey or black in colour to minimise visual impact and can carry two leadlines.
