Shugart’s HEAVY-DUTY barge is also 10’4” wide, but the depth is 7’ instead of 5’. This extra depth provides a significantly stronger platform as well as additional freeboard. This extra strength and freeboard may be necessary for heavier lifts or when barges are used in surf or choppy waters. Like our regular barges, the heavy-duty barge is available in lengths of two, three, and four barge-widths.
