Extremely Stable


The increased beam and moulded depth offers a significant increase in crane lifting and cargo capacity, whilst still maintaining Meercats’ characteristic shallow draft, manoeuvrability and road transportability.

Huge Working Deck


Unbelievably, all of this extra deck space and cargo capacity comes in two road transportable 18m x 4m hulls, another 4m section can also be added to increase the deck area even more maintaining the Meercats’ prized attribute of being the truly versatile, road transportable, workboat solution.
