USE CASES
High Winds and Fast Currents
Often, swift currents in rivers cause standard float collar can buoys to tilt over rendering them ineffective. The 1428 float collar can buoy includes a swift water option with a ballasted external arm to keep the floats upright and visible.
Advance Warning for Log Booms
Floating booms lines are placed in or near the dangerous waters. Dam owners typically will place regulatory or float collar can buoys upstream of the boom lines to provide advance warning to give boaters time react and alter course or portage.
Swim Areas and Public Beaches
Increased use of Personal Water Craft (PWC) and the popularity of swimming at public beaches creates a recipe for accidents. Park and recreational safety managers turn to Worthington to provide TUFFBUOY barrier floats and regulatory buoys to provide a highly visible deterrent that separates those in-water from those on the water.
