MAXIMAX AND MINIMAX BOOMS
Elastec MaxiMax and MiniMax oil spill fence booms are designed in a variety of sizes for rapid deployment from boom reels or racks. Elastec manufactures fence boom with added tension members combined with solid foam floatation. This oil and debris barrier is typically used for deployment in ports and harbors for surrounding vessels or protecting resources. The construction employs top and bottom tension members (cable on top and chain on bottom). American Marine, a division of Elastec, has been manufacturing quality floating boom and barrier products since 1967. Fill out our questionnaire and tell us about your project.
MiniMax and MaxiMax booms are compact for easy storage on pallets or boom reels. This system is especially useful for ports and harbors where a quick response is required. These fence booms feature closed cell foam buoyancy panels, vertical stiffeners, galvanized chain ballast, stainless steel top tension cable, plus a choice of fabrics. Fence boom is typically used for static or low current applications.
The closed-cell construction of these booms does not allow water to enter the float chambers. Manufactured in fully welded PVC material, this boom is fitted with handles and anchor points.
MaxiMax oil spill boom comes in standard section lengths of 50 ft / 15 m or 100 ft 30 m. MiniMax is also available in 25 ft / 7.5 m sections. Custom sizes are available upon request. The boom is supplied with ASTM compliant interchangeable end connectors for rapid coupling of sections. End connectors are fitted with sacrificial Zinc anodes.

Containment Boom Reels
Oil containment boom reels are the fastest and most efficient means for storage, deployment and recovery of longer lengths of boom. Most of our reels have the ability to free-wheel to speed up deployment. Our boom reels may be hydraulic or manually operated and are suitable for both inflatable boom and some models of foam flotation boom.
