Operating Instructions

To maximize the overall service life and operation safety of the6-Inch Small Engineering Barge, all operators must strictly abide by standardized operating specifications. This complete guideline covers pre-operation inspection, formal operation steps and docking & storage procedures specially formulated for the 6-inch small engineering barge.

1. Pre-Operation Inspection

  • Inspect the hull welding seams and three-layer anti-rust coating of the 6-Inch Small Engineering Barge to confirm no welding cracking, paint peeling, water leakage or structural damage.
  • Check the tightness of all sealed floating cabins to ensure no air leakage or water inflow hidden dangers, and test the overall floating balance performance of the hull.
  • Inspect the deck anti-slip structure, mooring anchor bases and connecting accessories of the 6-inch small engineering barge, fasten loose parts and replace damaged accessories in advance.
  • Check the integrity of optional auxiliary facilities such as guardrails and traction winches to ensure normal use during operation.
  • Confirm the water depth of the operation water area is ≥0.35m to avoid hull bottom friction and structural damage caused by ultra-shallow water stranding.

2. Formal Operation Steps

  • Push the 6-Inch Small Engineering Barge to the predetermined operation water area manually, adjust the hull to a horizontal balanced state, and fix the hull position through multi-point anchor mooring devices.
  • Carry out material loading and equipment placement in accordance with the standard load-bearing limit, uniformly distribute the load on the deck, and avoid single-point overload and eccentric load placement to prevent hull tilt.
  • Carry out auxiliary construction, material transportation and floating platform operation after confirming the hull is stably positioned; it is strictly prohibited to operate violently and stack materials beyond the safe load limit.
  • Monitor the hull floating state in real time during operation; once slight tilt or floating offset occurs, adjust the load position and mooring state immediately to restore balance.
  • After completing the single-point operation task, release the mooring device, manually push or traction the hull to the next working area, and repeat the standardized operation steps.

3. Docking & Shutdown Storage Procedures

  • After completing the daily operation, unload all deck materials and auxiliary equipment to ensure zero load on the hull, and clean the deck surface sludge and sundries of the 6-Inch Small Engineering Barge.
  • Traction the hull to the safe shore docking area, fix the hull with shore-based mooring ropes to avoid floating displacement and collision with shore facilities.
  • Check the hull and floating cabin status again, record daily operation status, and do a good job in waterproof and dustproof protection for long-term idle storage.

4. Basic Operational Skills & Practical Guidance

To help operators quickly master the professional operation skills of the 6-Inch Small Engineering Barge, our factory summarizes targeted practical operating skills for ultra-shallow water construction:
  • Load Distribution Adjustment: During material and equipment placement, keep uniform stress on the left and right sides of the deck, avoid long-term eccentric load operation, and control the total load within 3.5 tons to ensure hull balance.
  • Shallow Water Operation Rules: When working in water areas with water depth of 0.35m-0.6m, reduce traction movement frequency to avoid hull bottom direct friction with riverbed sediment and wear of anti-rust coating.
  • Flow Water Operation: When operating in slow-flow water areas, fix multi-point mooring anchors firmly to prevent hull drifting caused by water flow impact, and avoid operation in water flow velocity exceeding 1.2m/s.
  • Wind Weather Operation: Stop floating operation in windy weather above level 6 in time, dock the hull to the shore and fix it tightly to prevent hull shaking and collision damage.

5. Common Faults & Emergency Solutions

During daily long-term floating operation of the 6-Inch Small Engineering Barge, there are few faults, and common minor problems can be solved quickly through standardized methods:
  • Hull Slight Tilt: Immediately adjust the deck load distribution, transfer eccentric load materials, and check whether the single-side floating cabin is waterlogged to restore hull balance.
  • Mooring Position Offset: Re-tension the mooring ropes, adjust the anchor placement position, and increase fixed anchor points for operation in flowing water areas to enhance positioning stability.
  • Coating Scratch & Rust: Clean the rusted area in time, polish and repair the anti-rust coating to avoid expanded corrosion and affect the hull service life.

Important Notes & Safety Precautions

Standardized safety operation and maintenance rules are essential to extend the service life and ensure safe use of the 6-Inch Small Engineering Barge. Our factory sorts out targeted risk control rules for daily operation and maintenance:

1. Operational Safety Notes

  • Operators must receive basic safety training before using the 6-inch small engineering barge, and master standardized load-bearing and positioning operation specifications.
  • It is strictly forbidden to overload the barge or place eccentric loads for a long time to prevent hull permanent deformation and floating instability.
  • Do not operate the barge in extreme weather such as level-7 strong wind, thunderstorm and heavy rain to prevent hull rolling and collision accidents.
  • The operation water depth shall never be less than 0.35m to prevent hull stranding, bottom scratch damage and floating cabin extrusion deformation.
  • Avoid strong collision with shore ridges, stones and hard buildings during hull movement to prevent hull welding crack and floating cabin damage.

2. Daily Maintenance Precautions

  • Clean deck sludge, sundries and accumulated water after daily work to keep the hull dry and clean, and avoid long-term humid corrosion.
  • Regularly check the tightness of floating cabins, welding seams and mooring accessories every month, and repair damaged anti-rust coating in time.
  • Regularly inspect the fixed anchor base and guardrail connecting parts, tighten loose bolts, and replace aging and damaged accessories regularly.
  • For long-term idle 6-inch small engineering barge, drain deck accumulated water, park it in dry shore area, and cover with dustproof & rainproof protective cover.

3. Fault Handling Precautions

  • Once abnormal floating tilt or water inflow is found during operation, stop working immediately, unload deck load, and push the hull to shallow shore area for inspection and maintenance.
  • In case of hull structural damage and floating cabin water inflow faults, contact official after-sales team for professional repair; private unauthorized welding and modification are prohibited, otherwise the warranty will be invalid.
  • All maintenance and replacement accessories must adopt factory standard parts to ensure the overall structural stability and safety of the barge.
