Hopper
The Poseidon 40 yard, 7FT P2 Series Hopper is where innovation and solution merge into one. Our customer base expressed a need for a sectional hopper, and we provided one that has proven to be a very useful tool in dredging, drilling, and material transportation projects. The stable 7ft tall section is most efficiently ran in pairs conveniently attached using our P2 series connection consisting of the male lug, and female lockbar system. The 40-yard version is the evolution of the initial design, building on the proven success but now available with greater payload capacity. Our customers were needing a barge that held more weight, and by redesigning the old style hopper, we have given the customer the ability to place more weight in the barge than ever before.
