The TRIDENT-3000 is one of the largest rotationally moulded buoys available, with a float
diameter of 3 meters and lantern focal height of up to 5 meters.
The float section of the TRIDENT-3000 is built from four (4) roto-moulded quadrants, which
fasten together to form an incredibly robust 3 meter wide float section standing 1.8m tall. Each
quadrant is moulded from UV-stabilised virgin polyethylene, and has an 18mm wall thickness.
Number of Lifting Points = 4 SWL for 2 or more lifting points = 8630kg (mooring point)
Visual area = 7.1m2 (with daymark) SWL for 1 point lifting = 6000kg (deck and primary structure)
Estimated roll period (bare) = 2.2sec Estimated roll period (moored) = 1.6sec
