Factory Friday: Why Aluminium is Our Choice for Commercial RIB Construction

This Factory Friday, we're diving into the core of our commercial RIB construction at Galaxy Boats: marine-grade aluminium. As a commercial boat supplier in the UK, we understand the unique needs of professionals who rely on their vessels daily. That's why every hull is meticulously manufactured in Europe, in-house, by skilled hands. This precise process ensures long-term durability and operational confidence, whether you're in defence, law enforcement, or the commercial sector.

Built for Demanding Roles: From Rescue Boats to Military RIBs

The popularity of heavy-duty RIBs crafted from aluminium continues to grow across defence, law enforcement, and other commercial sectors. Operators are increasingly recognising the significant advantages of this material. Each custom RIB design we create is tailored for durability and performance, ensuring that our vessels stand up to the most challenging environments.

Consider these key benefits of our aluminium construction:

• 100% Recyclable: Over 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in circulation, making it a highly sustainable choice.

• Lightweight, Strong, and Corrosion-Resistant: Aluminium excels in harsh marine environments, offering superior strength without excessive weight and excellent resistance to corrosion.

• Minimal Maintenance: Our aluminium rigid inflatable boats require very little maintenance throughout their lifespan, keeping your operational costs down.

• Globally Repairable: Should the need arise, aluminium is straightforward to repair worldwide using standard welding equipment, minimising downtime for your vessel.

  
  

The Advantages of Aluminium for Commercial Use

A heavy-duty RIB is essential in offshore patrol scenarios, and the inherent strength of aluminium provides the robust field-repair capability and extended service life that professionals demand. From rescue boats needing swift deployment to military RIBs requiring unwavering resilience, our European-manufactured hulls provide the foundation for exceptional performance. This robust construction ensures lower through-life costs and the reliability crucial for critical missions.

Choosing the Right Commercial RIB for Your Sector

Every Galaxy RIB is custom built for its intended mission. Whether you need a vessel for patrol, rescue, or offshore support, we build to precisely match your requirements. Our ToughTek foam collars, for instance, offer an excellent alternative to traditional tubes, enhancing the longevity and stability of your commercial RIB with foam fender. We're dedicated to supplying high-quality, reliable solutions for all UK-supplied RIBs that meet the rigorous demands of your operations.
