Ace foam-filled float
drums offer durable flotation for a variety of new or existing dock
systems. The plastic exterior one-piece seamless shell design prevents
leakage and separation caused by weak joints. The drum wall is made
of tough virgin polyethylene with ultra violet inhibitors to prevent
damage from the sun, debris, oil, gas, marine organisms, salt, and
fresh water. A nominal wall thickness of .150 offers a stronger,
more durable float. The top of the shell is flat with molded-in
mounting slots for easy attachment to any dock frame.
The interior of the float drum is filled with expanded polystyrene
(EPS) foam. The foam is steam pressured for a tight fit that provides
the highest buoyancy possible. The foam interior provides floatation
if the outside shell becomes punctured and is continually tested to
meet or exceed the Hunt Water Absorption Test standard of 3 lbs per
cubic foot. The “Falling Dart” test and ultrasonic wall
thickness testing are part of Ace Roto-Mold’s quality procedures
to ensure the durable, long life of our float drums.
Ace offers both rotationally molded
and blow molded designs. With over forty different sizes available,
from one to four feet wide, three to eight feet long, and eight
to thirty-two inches high, you are sure to find an Ace float drum
that fits your needs, whether you are a private dock builder or
a contractor for a large marina complex.
Den Hartog Industries'
VERSAFLOAT
line of Blow-Molded Float Drums are designed to provide a safe and
durable means for the support of floating dock systems and features
8 mounting slots for attachment.
The top and
bottom of the float are ribbed for strength and the sidewalls are
ribbed at each connection point for strength. Den Hartog Industries

These floats have been tested in accordance with industry standards
and meet Coast Guard specifications.
