Rhino 590

Rhino 850

Description:

The Rhino Craft is designed as a robust & virtually indestructible replacement to the inflatable rigid hull workboat for use in the offshore & marine construction environments.

The boat is made exclusively from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The keel is 30mm HDPE plate, the pontoons are Ф 500mm x 15,2 mm W.T extruded HDPE pipe. The frames, decking & hull are made from 10 mm to 25mm thick HPDE plate.

The frames and bulkheads are cut by a Numerically Controlled water jet and all the components are extrusion welded together, forming a workboat with 7 watertight compartments.

The deck is self-draining via 2 x 100 mm diameter “duckbill” drains through the transom.

The boat is adequately powered by 1 x 36 hp diesel outboard. The transom has been designed to accommodate 2 x outboard motors. It is possible to install a water jet drive powered by a 145 hp diesel engine

In case of damage to the boat, the HDPE can easily be repaired with an extrusion welder or molten plastic where no extrusion welder is available.

Advantages of the Rhino Workboat

The Rhino 590 is designed and manufactured to provide a solution for a durable offshore workboat for commercial & military use. Traditionally rigid hull inflatables and aluminium boats have been used as workboats, but this HDPE boat has advantages over both in many situations.
