Tennamast cradles are being used world-wide, and have been employed to transport craft globally.
The first modular Craft-T-Cradle was developed in 1990 with the design and concept being nominated for, and winning the prestigious Silk Cut Nautical award
Since the introduction of the Craft-T-Cradle further improvements and innovations have led to the Craft-E-Cradle and the Super-A-Cradle being developed. These additional products suit alternative craft and budgets.
The Keystone of the Tennamast Cradles is the modular support which can be used in any position.
All Tennamast Cradles satisfy the British Marine Industries Federation lay-up guidelines.
The complete assembly is Hot Dip Galvanised to BS 729
The Tennamast Cradle System is an extremely effective and versatile concept which has very few limitations in use.
The whole cradle assembly is extremely compact allowing easy transportation to any site without the requirement of specialised haulage.
The Tennamast concept is easily assembled by one person with the use of just one spanner.
The cradle system has the advantage of a high re-sale value.
(The Tennamast cradle system is totally unique in the world. No other cradle offers the versatility and adaptability that the Tennamast system offers.)
