$17,200 with 2 rows of floats

A: Our work barge kits typically take 8-12 weeks for all parts to ship out. These kits take a lot of planning and the parts are ALL built to order. Floats ship from our partnering factory in Arkansas and will arrive on one or more trucks (domestic orders). Floats for barge kits typically ship 3-4 weeks after the order is placed. Frames ship from New Hampshire and will ship out on another truck (domestic orders). If you're based in New England, local pickup of the frame system at our location in Concord, NH is available, as is local delivery with our own company truck. If you're near north east Arkansas, local pick up of the floats is also available, but do bear in mind that these floats are HUGE and you'll require a tractor trailer to be able to fit enough for most barge modules. For international customers, floats will ship via intermodal shipping container via cargo ship, as will the frame kits (floats and frame kits WILL ship separately as it's more economical). We can ship anywhere in the world, but if you're able to pick up your kit at a local sea port, it will be much less expensive than direct delivery when shipping internationally.

For reference, the three modes of transportation that we use when shipping the floats or frames for this kit are either a 53' tractor trailer (outside length of trailer box), standard 20' intermodal shipping container, or standard 40' high-cube intermodal shipping container. Below we have diagrams showing how many of the 37" wide floats for these kits fit into the two sizes of shipping container. A 20' shipping container will hold up to 20 of our 37" wide floats (not tall enough to stack them), a 40' high-cube shipping container can hold up to 52 floats, and a 53' tractor trailer will hold up to 72 of the floats.

All international freight is shipped FOB, meaning that the freight charge that you pay us is only to get the freight on the boat and to the dock. Your local port WILL have additional fees on top of our freight charge, and you WILL be responsible for your local importaion taxes and fees on top of those costs. We simply don't have a way to calculate or collect these fees ahead of delivery, so we strongly recommend contacting your local sea port's freight dock for an estimate of the fees before finalizing your order. Also, many countries require working with an importation broker to file customs documents. We do not include this service and you will be responsible for making arrangements with a local brokerage before we can ship your order.

Q: Are custom sizes available?

A: We are only able to offer custom size barges outside the sizes listed on this page if you are purchasing multiple units. When we have the aluminum made and the machine work done, we have to purchase all the materials in batches of 2000 pounds or more. That means that if you want a single barge for which EITHER of our two proprietary aluminum frame extrusions (main beams and cross members) total less than 2000 pounds of material, we have to decline the order. The material is so expensive that if we were to offer a boat such as a single 10' wide boat that was 12' long with two rows of floats, us accepting the order would be a net loss for our company, and that's just bad business. On the other hand, if you needed 4 or more of that size barge system, we could make it work as the main beams would total just over 2000 pounds. At this time, we are only offering the sizes on this page and 18' wide boats (per special request) for this very reason.

Concerning the size constraints of our frame system, we are able to go as wide as 18' for the cross members, and up to 20'4' in length for the main beams. If building barge systems larger than that, you will have to couple two or more of our barge modules with your own supplied structure. We can provide verbal instruction on how to do this, but we will not be posting instructions on how to couple the modules due to liability concerns. If you would like to discuss how to connect the modules, you MUST call us. Visit our "Contact Us" page for multiple means of calling us (phone or WhatsApp).

Q: Are frame kits avilable separately for alternate purposes?

A: We will not sell our frame kits separately from the floats. The frames are VERY expensive to make and selling the floats at the same time allows us to offer the kits as a whole at a reasonable price.

Q: How is payment accepted?

A: We understand that these kits are a solid chunk of change and we understand that you're putting a lot of faith in us when placing an order for one of these kits. As these kits are high-value units, we do not accept credit cards for payment (fees would kill us and the fear of a charge-back is too real) and payment has to be in the form of a bank-to-bank wire transfer, ACH transfer, or certified bank check. If your only way to pay for an order is with a credit card, we must decline the order. As we have to pay for all the materials up front and then do a pile of work on this end, payment is due in full before an order is put into our queue. Our company is steadfast on the policy of having zero debts with our vendors and no open accounts with our customers. This allows us to stay focused on the important tasks of filling orders and developing product.

Q: How do returns and cancellations work?

A: Simply put, they do not work work. We DO NOT accept returns and we WILL NOT cancel an order. All of our kits are custom built and are not product that has been sitting in a warehouse. This allows us to operate lean and be as competitive with our pricing as possible. We work hard to get orders out the door as soon as possible and provide the best service that we can, so that means that when you commit to a purchase, we have committed to fill the order. Once an order is placed, the money you hand to us goes into materials and labor, and we don't get that back, even if you change your mind. We repeat, WE DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS AND WE WILL NOT CANCEL ORDERS.
