Shugart’s
Barge Pusher is simple to attach, simple to operate,
and simple to service. It’s the best idea you’ll
find for moving and positioning sectional barges,
and it also has the ability to provide auxiliary hydraulic
power on marine construction jobs. This versatile
Barge Pusher fits onto practically any sectional barge
deck. Four pieces of angle iron welded to the barge
deck provide the connections to safely secure the
pusher to a barge. Custom fabricated specifically
for our barges, it is the best value in pusher equipment
available. Like all high quality Shugart products,
the Barge Pusher offers dependability and versatility,
and is designed for safe and efficient performance.
Barge Pushers are available for sale or rent. |

The
Shugart Barge Pusher is durable, yet requires less
maintenance than other pusher equipment. Shugart’s
Barge Pusher features a Detroit
Diesel engine driving the main hydraulic pump
that powers the thruster. There are no gears, no drive
shafts, and no bearings to maintain or replace. This
translates into less down time for repairs, and more
productive time spent accomplishing your job. |

SIMPLE
TO OPERATE
One
man can operate and maintain Shugart’s Barge
Pusher. A raised control platform provides the operator
a clear view of barges and surrounding waterways.

SIMPLE
TO SERVICE
Service is greatly simplified. The Barge Pusher is
built of standard components with replacement parts
readily available at manufacturers’ service
centers nationwide. Routine maintenance and repairs
are simplified because all of the Barge Pusher’s
systems are accessible on deck. |
AUXILIARY
HYDRAULIC POWER
The auxiliary hydraulic pump can provide
additional power for your auxiliary equipment. Hydraulic
lines for spud lifters, deck winches, and other equipment
can be easily attached. This enables any auxiliary
equipment to be controlled by one operator. |
