Plastic barrels for rafts

Čabar Plast’s plastic barrels for rafts offer a modern and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional metal barrels.

Designed specifically for use in floating structures, these barrels are placed beneath the construction to ensure buoyancy and stability.

Advantages of Plastic Barrels Over Metal:

No additional maintenance required, eliminating the need for painting or coating.
Available in standard dimensions similar to metal barrels (Ø 600 x 900mm) but can also be customized in various sizes and colors to meet specific needs and preferences.

Plastic barrels are ideal for a wide range of uses, including:

Foundations for rafts and water houses.
Secure docks and moorings for vessels.
Platforms for swimming, sunbathing, and river crossings.
Fish farming as pontoons and cages.
Structural elements for catamarans and trimarans.
Barriers for collecting floating and underwater waste.

Key Features:

Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), ensuring tensile strength and resistance to water penetration, frost, saltwater, and extreme temperatures.
Waterproof and long-lasting, with only a 5% degradation of properties after 50 years.
UV-resistant and capable of withstanding temperatures from -30°C to +80°C.
Eco-friendly, presenting no environmental hazards compared to corroding metal barrels.
Easy to install and transport, with impact resistance and significant load-bearing capacity.

Dimensions and Load Capacity:

Čabar Plast offers barrels in various standard diameters to suit different requirements, including Ø 500mm, Ø 600mm, Ø 800mm, Ø 1000mm, Ø 1200mm, Ø 1300mm, and Ø 1600mm, with the possibility of custom dimensions. Each size is designed to support substantial weights, ensuring the safety and stability of your floating structures.

Customization and Color Options Plastic barrels

While black is the most common color due to popular demand, Čabar Plast barrels are available in a range of colors, including blue, yellow, and gray, allowing for personalization and aesthetic alignment with your project.

Calculating Load Capacity Plastic barrels

The load capacity depends on the barrel size and construction of the floating object. For example, barrels with an internal diameter of 60 cm support 140 kg per linear meter, while those with an 80 cm diameter support 230 kg per meter, ensuring that your raft or floating structure remains buoyant under maximum load.

Čabar Plast’s plastic barrels for rafts are an innovative solution for constructing durable, maintenance-free, and environmentally friendly floating structures. Their versatility, combined with a commitment to quality and sustainability, makes them an ideal choice for a wide range of aquatic applications.
