The pusher is an essential vessel that serves as an efficient and reliable workhorse for transporting cargo. Vessels like this are very functional and are usually characterized by a square bow, a shallow draft and have large plates mounted to the bow for pushing barges of various heights. They are known for their impressive power and maneuverability.
The pushers are typically equipped with powerful engines and specialized propulsion systems that allow them to exert substantial force on the vessel they are pushing, enabling them to navigate through narrow waterways, maneuver in tight spaces and handle large loads. Their propulsion system is located at the rear of the vessel. This allows them to push barges in front of them. In general pushers are used on rivers and inland waterways. In the United states these pushers are referred to as towboats. Many of these vessels have living quarters for the crew. Our products ensure that the crew can work in the best conditions possible.
