Ballast cushions or driving systems

Buitink USA develops and produces large ballast cushions for testing and to be applied as inflatable floats. We focus on special cases where no standard solutions are available.

The cushion shown in the video and photos are applied either as ballast (filled with water) or as underwater lifting cushion (filled with air).

The cushion can lift 17 tons, which is equal to its lifting power in water. The cushion has strengthening ties all around and connection points to enable manipulation by crane.
