How It All Began
SwitchBarge began by trying to answer one simple question: How can we fit the largest capacity crane on the smallest truckable unit we can build? The answer: Our patent pending, light weight, interchangeable, floating SwitchBlocks!
Purpose
Initially SwitchBarge started as a vessel that would allow for the removal of unwanted debris in lakes and rivers. Our use has now expanded to Permanent Pier Construction, Building Material Delivery, Island Services, and Storm Damage Recovery Services
Changing The Game
When in position, SwitchBarge utilizes SwitchBlocks (pp) to expand from 8.5' to nearly 17' wide. The added width allows for the use of a much larger crane than even a 10' or 12' barge can handle, all on a vessel that can collapse to a travel width of 8.5'.
