Myark Amphibious Folding Self Trailer 9.m x 4.4m Barge $99,000 

Myark Amphibious Folding Trailer Barge

Offered for sale at well below manufacturing cost to fund the next phase of the Myark wrench invention manufacturing, the Myark Amphibious Folding Trailer Barge is a genuine, working innovation in amphibious transport and modular marine engineering.

This is a true one-of-a-kind creation. The extraordinary man-hours, bespoke fabrication, and advanced engineering complexity make this model impossible to replicate at any reasonable cost. Once sold, another like it will never exist—placing this barge firmly in collector-grade territory while remaining fully functional and commercially deployable.

Serious buyers will immediately recognise that replacement is impossible, and ownership means securing a piece of engineering history that delivers both novelty and practical capability.

Key Features

Dual-Use Modular Configuration

  • Hulls separate into two independent barges

  • Each hull measures 9.0 m × 2.2 m × 0.75 m

  • Each hull can accept plug-in torsion suspension, converting it into an independent amphibious self-trailer barge

Performance & Engineering

  • Ultra-shallow draft hull with raised bottom bow and stern

  • Capable of planning with as little as a high thrust 60 HP outboard

  • Four sealed, self-draining hatches for secure below-deck storage

  • True single-person operation — transport, setup, deployment, and recovery

Versatile Applications

  • Civil emergency and flood-rescue operations

  • Amphibious transport of vehicles and heavy equipment

  • Armed forces and defense logistics support

  • Floating event stage or portable jetty

  • Film industry platform or floating set

  • Beachfront or marina party barge hire

  • Mobile workshop or portable carport

  • Commercial stage and exhibition hire

  • Platform for Tiny Homes, Caravans or RVs on water "Houseboat" with optional deck 3.m above water or ground.
  • Animal rights protest platforms such as Duck shooting opening mornings. 

Despite its operational scale, the barge remains fully backyard-storable when folded or unfolded.

Deck & Shelter Capability

  • Deck height (spud-barge configuration): 3.0 m above ground

  • Clearance beneath hull: 2.25 m

  • Compatible with standard 9.1 m × 9.1 m tarpaulin for upper-deck shelter

  • Creates a naturally shaded, fully covered workspace beneath the hulls

Exhibition & Promotional Use

Presented brand new and in pristine condition, the Myark is ideally suited to trade shows and exhibition hire.

It can elevate:

  • Caravans

  • Vehicles

  • Boats

…above surrounding displays while simultaneously providing sheltered display space beneath, delivering a visually dominant, high-impact presentation platform unmatched by conventional staging solutions.

Filmed on the remote shores of Lake Waikaremoana, New Zealand, this footage captures Denis and his loyal dog Flash testing one of the earliest prototypes of the Myark amphibious folding trailer pontoons — a pivotal step in the evolution of a design born from ingenuity and a love of the outdoors.

“Pictured: Denis with Flash, inventing, designing, and manufacturing the earlier 10 m × 4.8 m × 0.5 m Myark folding self-trailer barge, which has been successfully hired for a wide range of marine activities that others cannot match and eventually sold to the Australian Government.

The YouTube footage documents 3 of the Myark folding self-trailer barges donated to SAFE (Safe Animals From Exploitation), operating on the opening morning of duck shooting, with amplified live music used to scare ducks away from the wetlands.
