RIbs for transporting goods
Hi,
I have not posted for some time as I have been busy setting up a new business (the crisis bites still!). My question is: are there ribs around which can be used for transport? Suppose it would have to be pretty big as I woldn't want to make longish trips for a box of bananas.
Cheers,
cuttle

Crompton specialised in that market!
I think you'll need to narrow down what you want to carry, does it need to be kept dry etc. You might also want to think about how you will load/unload it...

Thanks Polwart,
It has to be kept dry, yes. Unloading and loading is less of a problem.
Cheers,

It seems to me
that Crompton Marine (UK) do not have a website, or even an e-mail. Can someone correct me on this one?
Thanks,
cuttle

I think you'll find that Crompton Marine are no longer trading, and that their former directors can be contacted via HM Prison Service.

However, I believe Crompton Marine's moulds went elsewhere so you may be able to find one built by someone else.
