Technical Data Summary for Float Platforms

1. Specifications and Dimensions

The document provides detailed measurements and quantities for various float platforms, identified by dimensions L (length in meters), m W (width in meters), and QTY (quantity of floats). Additional parameters include B (width in meters) and Menge (quantity in German), along with Schwimmkörper (floats in German) and ILOŚĆ pływaków (quantity of floats in Polish).

2. Float Types and Sizes

Float types are categorized as W800, W900, W1200, and W1200S, with corresponding dimensions and weights. The table lists multiple configurations with lengths ranging from 6 m to 14 m, widths from 3 m to 4.5 m, and float quantities from 10 to 22.

3. Load Capacities and Weights

Key load capacity indicators include 50% and 70% of net carrying capacity (Nettotragfähigkeit) expressed in kilograms. Steel weight (Masa stali / Stahlgewicht) is also provided for each platform type. The data shows the relationship between platform size, float quantity, and load capacity at different immersion levels (50% and 70% submersion).

4. Popular Platform Configurations

The document highlights the most popular platforms, particularly standard houseboat catamaran platforms, with specific references to W1200/800 and W1200S/900 models. These are noted for their steel weight and carrying capacities at 50% and 70% immersion.

5. Data Interpretation

The tabulated data allows for selection of float platforms based on required load capacity and dimensions. Increasing float quantity and platform size correlates with higher load capacity and steel weight. The data supports design decisions for floating structures, ensuring stability and adequate buoyancy.

Critical Information and Recommendations

• Platform dimensions and float quantities must be matched to desired load capacities.
• Steel weight is a critical factor influencing platform durability and stability.
• Immersion percentages (50% and 70%) provide guidelines for safe operating load limits.
• Standard platforms (W1200/800 and W1200S/900) are recommended for typical houseboat catamaran applications.
