Shock absorber for pontoons T


he patented MPP K90 hybrid shock absorber for pontoons and boats from 150-900 tons has


been developed by Sidermarine Srl to absorb both small and large oscillations caused by the sudden onset of bad weather, including storms, as well as cope with turbulent wave conditions. The central spring made from high quality stainless steel has the ability to moderate the effects of small and medium backwash in marinas by


considerably reducing the load generated by it so as to relieve stress on bollards attached to the pontoon. To guarantee a long


Mobile pump-out on road trailer


service life, this marine shock absorber does not incorporate any welded components. To ensure the maximum


silence of Sidermarine’s new shock absorber in operation, all the internal parts slide on anti-friction inserts whilst the central elastomer increases the shock-absorbing capacity during adverse weather conditions and is subsequently assisted by the lateral elastomers when stresses increase in severity. The MPP K90 is 470 mm in


length and weighs 5.8 kg. Sidermarine Srl info@sidermarine.com www.sidermarine.com


Stainless steel service pedestal


In the event that moorings are particularly extensive, with craft berthed in positions that cannot be reached by the hoses of fixed pump-out units, Sanitrade Srl offers a trailer-mounted suction system to complement the static units. The trolley system for emptying


black water holding tanks is assembled on an approved road trailer fitted with brakes and can therefore be towed by a vehicle using a standard hook.


MARINA INDUSTRY • APRIL 2021 Housed on the trailer is an


accumulation tank equipped with a high level float for the automatic suction stop and a door for visual inspection or manual loading. The trailer also carries a tank with fresh water for rinsing out the empty tank. The system is operated from the


panel of a programmable logic controller. Sanitrade Srl info@sanitrade.it www.sanitrade.it
