  • What is the warranty?

    Progressive Industrial, Inc offers a one-year warranty on the entire boat and a two-year warranty on the engines. All engine installations are tested and certified by engine manufacturers. For more information, contact our pushboat manufacturers today.

  • What coating do you use?

    All of our coatings are two-part epoxies and two-part urethanes. Everything is blasted to near white and all coatings are applied indoors. We also include an inorganic zinc undercoat on the hull structure. If you're looking for reliable tugboat manufacturers, contact Progressive Industrial, Inc today.

  • Do your boats include electronics?

    No, our boats are delivered fully functional and ready to run but do not include navigation electronics. We can do all the hot work for the electronics installation. Contact our pushboat and barge manufacturers today for more information on our services!

  • What do you use for engine cooling?

    We use keel coolers for engine cooling. Our boats do not draw in seawater, so no winterization is required in cold climates.

  • Are your boats emission-compliant?

    Yes, all engines and generators are new and comply with current emissions standards required by law. If you're looking for your next boat, contact our barge manufacturers today.

  • Do I need a license to operate your boats in the United States?

    No, our hulls are under 26' so any properly trained operator can run them without a CG license. As one of the top pushboat manufacturers, we can help you find the vessel you're looking for. Contact Progressive Industrial, Inc today!

  • What separates you from other manufacturers?

    We build our vessels indoors in a modern factory, ensuring everything is properly engineered and tested. Our pushboat manufacturers ensure our quality is second to none. We also offer free, same-day quotes for our boats. Contact our team today for more information!

  • How long do your boats last?

    There is no limit on how long a steel structure will last with good maintenance, but it must be built well to make it possible to maintain. We address that in the design, an example is not using an angle in the hull structure to eliminate impossible areas to see and maintain. If you have any questions about maintaining your boat, contact our tugboat manufacturers today!

  • Can you change your standard design?

    Yes and no, all of our boats are products we designed, built, and improved over 30 years. We know they work as they should and have great longevity. If the change can be done without comprising that, we will do it. For more information on our pushboat manufacturers processes, contact our team today.

  • What is the purchase procedure?

    Unlike other builders, we do not require progressive payments. We collect a 25% deposit and the balance is payable on delivery. Our pushboat and tugboat manufacturers are here to assist you with your payment questions. Call Progressive Industrial, Inc today.
