Background
Developed in house, the catamaran boat cradle (Cat Cradle) is yet another example of applying a simple yet highly effective solution for shipping catamarans by container.
Its innovative design came about as a result of challenges with loading catamarans from Europe to overseas markets as well as high freight costs.
The Solution
Bespoke Load Solutions offers a modular steel frame which accommodates the 2 pontoons to provide a secure stable platform.
Two significant features are the adjustable receivers to accommodate varying pontoon widths as well as the cantilever arrangement reducing the height.
Bespoke Load Solutions’ Cat Cradle is a Veritas certified system and covered by international patents. Cat Cradle is available on all major global trade routes and served by Bespoke Load Solutions’ network of offices and agents.
Examples of catamarans shipped using Cat Cradle:
Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40
Lagoon 450
Nautitech Open 40
