Inflatable Cable Floats – Marine Buoyancy Aids for Subsea Cables & Hoses
Inflatable Cable Floats are lightweight, reusable flotation devices designed to provide buoyancy support to underwater cables, hoses, or pipelines during deployment, retrieval, or temporary suspension. Ideal for marine construction, offshore oil & gas, dredging, aquaculture, and underwater utility projects.
✅ Key Features:
-
Material: Heavy-duty PVC or Hypalon (UV, chemical, and abrasion resistant)
-
Structure: Heat-welded seams with reinforced webbing and handles
-
Inflation Valve: High-capacity valve for fast inflation/deflation (manual pump or compressor compatible)
-
Cable Securing System: Velcro straps, webbing belts, or central channel to securely cradle the cable
-
Color: High-visibility orange/yellow for safety and tracking
-
Portability: Lightweight and foldable when deflated for compact storage
