Dredge Floats
DREDGE FLOATS ~ PIPE FLOATS
Dredging Pipe Floats (Floating Ring, Float Collars) are made from high wear resistant LMDPE by rotational molding technology. Dredge floats are widely used for supporting suction/discharge hoses. The dredging pipe floats are manufactured in a bright color to act as warning signs to other vessels in the vicinity.
Dredge floats are also manufactured in a way that will allow them to absorb the energy from vessel collision, to protect the pipelines that they are supporting. Double reinforced hardware on every float ensures a safe and secure connection to the pipe.
Nautilus™ Pipe Floats
GripTite™ technology for Pipe, Hose or Cable
Patent Pending
Configuration of the inner core is a multi-faceted gripping surface that channels fluids between the pipe and float providing more contact area to a pipe that standard designs.
- Tapered nose design reduces drag on float.
- Available for pipe diameters from 2.5” – 30”.
- Weather resistant polyethylene (HDPE).
- Replaces rusted & damaged steel pontoon floats.
- Made in the USA
