GlobeBoom uses a proven conventional design incorporating exclusive fabrics with a unique semi-spherical float design with build in handles.  There are four models using various fabrics at moderate prices yet "Oilfence tough" which can be used effectively as emergency response and semi-permanent barriers.  The semi-spherical floats allow compact storage, unparalleled flexibility and convenient  handling features.  Exclusive Globe fabrics provide superior strength and abrasion resistance compared to similar priced barriers.       Specifications

The GlobeBoom design offers excellent reserve buoyancy but makes the most of expensive storage space.  The short spherical floats rest together closely allowing all sizes of GlobeBoom to be stored on a reel, storage box, or trailer with equal ease.

Fabric Options

GlobeBoom is available in four different fabrics to match different operating conditions and budgets.

1. GlobeBoom LWU - Lightweight Urethane
This Urethane covered barrier base material is used throughout the industry where very cold or very hot storage temperatures may be encountered and the boom won't be used frequently. Comparable to "contractor boom" in durability but the proven Globe flotation system -- 3 sizes from 14" to 24".

2. GlobeBoom ED -- Extra Duty
This exclusive Globe fabric exceeds most urethane fabrics in environmental resistance and offers superior abrasion resistance, high tensile strength (1600 lbs. per inch) and very high tear strength. This is our standard product at a moderate price but with premium performance. Four sizes are available from 14" - 36". Deeper skirts are available upon request.

3. GlobeBoom UHW -- Urethane Heavy Weight
This series of boom uses the time tested Oilfence Urethane impregnated fabric with the more conventional GlobeBoom float design. Three sizes allow you flexibility of choice. Time tested durability means you may never have to replace it.

4. GlobeBoom I - Industrial Boom
The Industrial series offers economical durability for permanent or continuous use. The all black color is ideal where you don't want to draw attention to the boom or have chronic pollutants show up against the highly visible colors standard in most booms - Two sizes are available.

Ballast

GlobeBoom LWU & ED normally use chain ballast. UHW and I use lead ballast.  Special purpose booms may alternate chain for lead and vice versa.  Lead ballast may be substituted for chain on any boom. Ballast provided with the standard design is adequate for most operating conditions.  In some operations, extra ballast could be required -- please consult with your Davit Sales representative. In shallow waters or rivers -- use the shallowest draft possible.

End Connectors

All booms need to be connected easily. Aluminum connectors are suitable for all but continuous immersion service.  4 styles of connector are available for you to choose from with no price differences. The standard connector on all models of GlobeBoom is the ASTM aluminum connector. We also offer:
-- Oilfence type in PVC or aluminum
- U.S. Navy standard
On any size of GlobeBoom over 50' long at no additional cost. We will also be pleased to quote on any other style of connector if normally available.

Anchor Points

Anchor points are standard on 100' or longer lengths of GlobeBoom. When the boom is to be permanently moored or subjected to severe service, heavy duty Oilfence type anchor points are available.
