Aluminium Punt

[renewablejohn]

Anyone use a punt for transporting timber along a river. Have a job coming up with restricted access but trees either side a river with good forwarder access down stream.

Can't you float it downstream?

Wish I could. EA are concerned we may contaminate the water by doing that. I can see their point as there is some very large trout in the brook.

I have a steel barge with a keel cooled 9" chipper fitted in it, small hiab+ grab and hydraulic winch on it. That will carry 15 tons or I have small steel landing craft its about 15` long with buoyancy points each end that will carry 3 tons or a 20` pontoon that is about 7` wide that will just about carry 2 ton. Only got a picture of the steel landing craft, just about towable with a big 4x4, with trailer it goes 3.5ton. All for hire and on the tug list.

 

The EA crane the thing in with their fancy lifting gear
