The transport of massive heavy objects often need to transfer objects onto submersible barge or transport ship before shipping.In shipbuilding industry,huge ship will be moved onto floating docking for launching when the hull work finished.
Moving objects onto barge with marine air bags are proved to be safe compared to the traditional way . Width of moved object is not limited anymore due to the combination of air bags . Also marine air bags have low demand of bearing capacity of transport road . no limits of flatness or smoothness of ramp .
Pneumatic Rollers Roll Objects on or off the Board
Those marine air bags as heavy moving rollers or pneumatic rollers that roll objects on or off the board .The big contact area of rollers with objects ensure less pressure and can absorb vibration energy during the moving process. Some antique building moving projects prefer to employ marine air bags .
Evergreen engineering company, Eversafe marine completed some typical heavy transfer in past years. There are massive concrete caissons and thousands tons vessel had been successfully moved onto barge with marine air bags.
The rolling friction coefficient of marine air bags can be treated as 0.01 , so the demand of pulling force to move objects forward is not big. Generally the winches equipped on floating docks or semi submersible barge can satisfy the pulling need .
