HOW THEY'RE MADE

Each barge set is comprised of male, female, and end cover sections.

HANDLING & STORAGE

Stacking

Barge covers are equipped with Lifting Eye / Clamp Assemblies for easy removal, and they are made to be stacked for storage.

Refer to the NABRICO Marine Products FRP Lift-Off Barge Covers Handling, Stacking, and Storage Procedures for complete proper instruction.

STACKING, STEP BY STEP

Built to Stack

Every NABRICO cover set is engineered to stack cleanly for storage and transport — locator pins, stack supports, and nesting profiles keep the load square and secure.
