What is the mass of a typical barge?

It could be argues that there is no "typical" barge. Barges range in size from small ones used on canals to large floating "tubs" that are filled with grain or other cargo. But, fortunately, our friends at Wikipedia have a "related" answer: a typical barge measures 195 feet by 35 feet (59.4 meters by 10.6 meters), and can carry up to 1500 tons of cargo. The light tonnage (empty weight) was not given, but this barge might weigh in the neighborhood of 650 tons. Need a link? You got it.


How many bushels of rice in a barge load?

The number of bushels of rice in a barge load can vary based on the size of the barge and the density of the rice. A typical barge can hold around 1,500 to 2,000 tons of cargo. Since one ton of rice is approximately 27 bushels, a barge could carry roughly 40,500 to 54,000 bushels of rice. However, these figures can vary depending on specific factors like the barge's dimensions and the moisture content of the rice.

Given that one bushel of corn weighs approximately 56 pounds, this translates to roughly 1,000,000 to 1,400,000 bushels of corn per barge, depending on the specific size and load capacity of the vessel.

How much weight can a barge hold?

The weight capacity of a barge can vary depending on its size and design, but typical barges can hold anywhere from a few hundred tons to over 10,000 tons of cargo. Specialized heavy-lift barges can have even higher weight capacities, sometimes exceeding 20,000 tons. It is important to consider factors such as buoyancy, draft, and load distribution when determining how much weight a barge can safely carry.


What is the stability of a crane mounted on a barge?

You'll need specifics to calculate the stability of a crane mounted on a barge. The crane has a given mass, a given height (depending on the manner in which it is operated), and a given mechanical moment. This is based on the mass, size and shape of the crane as it is deployed, and also the size and shape of the barge. Certainly the manner in which the crane is placed on the barge will have to be considered.
