Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If lacks inherent buoyancy and used as fixed barrier
Without flotation, it becomes fabricated steel structures, not floating structures.
If made primarily of plastic without steel frame
Plastic floating barriers shift to other plastic articles if not emphasizing steel construction.
