REPLACEMENT TUBES

REPLACEMENT TUBES

MILPRO™ tubes are custom-made in order to meet a specific requirement, whatever the boat quantity. For a single project or an existing fleet maintenance, tubes are specially developped from rigging and use requirement. MILPRO™ tubes are fully customisable : foam, chambers, inflation system, fabric, …

ROUND SHAPE TUBE

This Milpro classic tube is round shape with conical or rounded ends.

It offers maximum buoyancyall, shock damping all around and allow passenger to seat on the collar. With this configuration you’ll get a standard deck space.

Chosen for:

Boarding operations

Passenger transport with simple deck configuration

GET INFORMATION

INFLATABLE TUBE
Description	Compartmented fabric inflatable collar with Intercommunication valves
Advantages	Deflatable for transport Easily repairable Light – Foldable Compartmented Resistant to abrasion Inflatable from one single point with IC valves
Compromised Characteristics	Can be punctured if the exterior fabric layer is compromised
Chosen for	Light weight Easy to repair

D-SHAPE TUBE

This Milpro™ D-Shape tube is a Half section collar with rounded ends (shorter than conical ends).

It offers maximum Deck Space while preserving the same outer buoyancy volume.

Boarding operations

Passenger transport with simple deck configuration

GET INFORMATION

FULL FOAM INFLATED
Description	Fabric inflated collar fitted by closed-cell foam and inflated by inflation valve.
Advantages	Resistant to abrasion Puncturable but keeps the shape and full buoyancy if punctured
Compromised characteristics	Can be punctured and loses tension if the exterior fabric layer is compromised (keep the shape and buoyancy anyway) One or two compartments only Heavier More difficult to repair
Chosen for	Working boats with extreme rugging exposure. Military applications (ballistic exposed mission)

HYBRID TUBE

This Milpro™ Hybrid tube is round shape at the bow and D-shape at the aft and middle section.

It offers a compromise between maximized deck space at the back and good buoyancy and shock damping at the bow. It also has good propreties for boarding and avoid diving into waves.

For multi-mission boat (Boarding operations,Working boat etc.)

GET INFORMATION

DURARIB
Description	Inflated fabric inner bladders (port and starboard) with inflation valves, rounded by closed-cell foam and exterior fabric layer.
Advantages	Resistant to extrem abrasion Unpuncturable : stays inflated with tension as long as the inner bladder is not compromized by bullet puncture & keeps the shape and full buoyancy if punctured.
Compromised Characteristics	Heavier More difficult to repair No IC valves but two inner bladder (port & startboard)
Chosen for	Military applications (ballistic exposed mission). Extreme rugging exposure (boarding).

BOW FOAM INFLATED
Description	Fabric inflated collar, compartmented, and intercommunication valves. Filled by closed-cell foam in the bow area only.
Advantages	Good compromise in weight, foldability, and resistance. Puncturable but: compartmented Keep the shape and full buoyancy at the bow if punctured.
Compromised characteristics	Can be punctured and loses tension if the exterior fabric layer is compromised (keep the shape and buoyancy anyway) One or two compartments only Heavier More difficult to repair in the bow area
Chosen for	Boarding operations Working boat with extreme rugging exposure at the bow
