We fabricate the pontoons from 60 ounce per square yard, neoprene-coated fabric. Each tube is assembled of uncured materials, painted to the desired color, and then vulcanized as a unit in our dry-heat autoclave. These inflatable pontoons are easily maintained. Another feature of the DIB River Freighter is its self-bailing design. This design provides the capability to perform in rough water and river currents environments.
Equipment can drive onto a river freighter outfitted with decks and a ramp.
Also, the inflatable pontoon hull allows the boat to work in congested areas without suffering damage when bumped.
