The RT range of vessels at Meercat Workboats are our Road transportable varieties, ranging from 14 to 18metres as standard with an ability to extend to 22metres built in our new facilities in Hythe, Southampton. 
The standard 18metre is a twin hulled vessel, with the options to add additional hulls to extend the beam and deck area. The increased beam offers a significant increase in crane lifting, cargo capacity, whilst still maintaining its shallow draft, manoeuvrability and ability to be road transportable.
