High Density Polyethylene Workboats

590,850,950
The Rhino Craft is designed as a robust & virtually
indestructible replacement to the inflatable rigid hull
workboat for use in the offshore & marine
construction environments. The boat is made
exclusively from High Density Polyethylene
(HDPE). The keel is 30mm HDPE plate, the
pontoons are 500mm x 15,2 mm wall thickness
extruded HDPE pipe. The frames, decking & hull
are made from 10mm to 25mm thick HPDE plate.
The frames and bulkheads are cut by a Numerically
Controlled water jet and all the components are
extrusion welded together, forming a workboat with
7 watertight compartments. The deck is
self-draining via 2 x 100 mm diameter “duckbill”
drains through the transom. In case of damage to
the boat, the HDPE can easily be repaired with an
extrusion welder or molten plastic where no
extrusion welder is available.
