Pontoons for vessels - catamarans and trimarans

Staying on the water rarely leaves anyone indifferent, and it is especially useful for all those who live in the city, but also for all people who enjoy nature and want to spend their free time on rivers and lakes.

In order to buy a yacht or a smaller boat, you need a whole fortune. It is wonderful to have your own comfortable, safe, stable boat that provides great enjoyment while sailing. So make your dream come true and build yourself a pontoon boat (catamaran or trimaran) on which you will sail, enjoy and relax in the beautiful nature and beauty of our rivers and lakes. You don't need a lot of money to build a boat, you need to have imagination.

Pontoon boats, catamarans and trimarans, are boats that have great stability on the water and very shallow draft, they can be easily powered by low-power engines that are economical and do not consume much fuel. Pontoon boats built of plastic pontoons have great carrying capacity and stability. They can be used as a private boat for enjoying and relaxing on the water, but also as tourist boats for transporting passengers. To build a pontoon boat, the first thing to start with are pontoons. Pontoons are the basis of every catamaran and trimaran. That is why it is important to choose the right pontoons. GHIBLIPLAST from Osečina is engaged in the production of plastic pontoons for all types of pontoon vessels of catamarans, trimarans and quartermarans.

In addition to pontoons for vessels, GHIBLIPLAST also produces pontoons for:

• floating piers in marinas
• docks
• floating platforms
• pontoon boats
• catamarans
• trimarans
• pontoons and cages for fish farms
• floating barriers for collecting and directing floating and underwater waste, etc.

Plastic GHIBLIPLAST pontoons are produced by spiral winding high density polyethylene HDPE. Using the very good properties and characteristics of HDPE high-density polyethylene materials, we were able to construct and manufacture plastic pontoons that have proven to be the best solution for building facilities on water. The material from which we produce pontoons HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE HDPE is also characterized by excellent mechanical characteristics, of which, for the use of pontoons, the most important one is its resistance to cracking.

Also, the material from which the raft pontoons are made has high tensile strength and excellent compressive strength. It is resistant to wear due to the low coefficient of friction, so it prevents the appearance of grooves and scratches during use. An extremely tough material, and toughness is reflected at extremely low temperatures (thermo-resistant - at temperatures from -30°C to +80° C.) During their service life, our pontoons do not require any special maintenance. Compared to metal and concrete pontoons, our plastic pontoons made of HDPE are completely resistant to the effects of salt and fresh water and do not require any corrosion protection or repair, they have a very long service life (50 years or more), meet the most stringent environmental requirements, have a high aesthetics, and in case of any damage during use, there is a possibility of repairing the damaged pontoon on the spot. The pontoons are made of high density HDPE polyethylene and are protected from the effects of solar radiation, with a UV stabilizer in the form of active soot in polyethylene.

GHIBLIPLAST polyethylene pontoons are made in standard diameters, lengths are at the request of the customer, limited only by the possibility of transport, up to 12m.

• Ø 500 mm
• Ø 600 mm
• Ø 800 mm
• Ø 1000 mm
• Ø 1200 mm
• Ø 1300 mm
• Ø 1600 mm

GHIBLIPLAST pontoons for vessels have specially made and modified tips that allow easier and faster movement through the water. Also, our pontoons have partition chambers that additionally strengthen and secure the pontoon. The chambers are placed at a distance of one meter, so that a seven-meter pontoon has seven chambers.

Each chamber has a small inspection opening (valve - connection) that serves as a vent, so that the chambers breathe, the air inside the pontoon is not hermetically sealed, which is very important for the atmospheric impact on the pontoon.

If the pontoon were hermetically sealed, at extremely low temperatures of -30°C the air inside the pontoon would shrink so that the pontoon would suffer a huge internal pressure that could damage it. The vent regulates the temperature inside the pontoon chamber with the outside temperature. Pontoons also have plastic holders to which a metal, aluminum or wooden structure can be attached. Pontoons are produced exclusively to order, based on the specific requirements of users in terms of the desired dimensions of the pontoon, load capacity, purpose of the pontoon, etc.

The main advantages of our pontoons are:

• Maximum sailing safety
• Impact and wear resistance
• Long service life over 50 years
• Minimum maintenance costs
• A product that does not pollute the environment
