| Barton Marine is excited to introduce the pioneering NeverSoft™ range of automatic air pressure management valve caps for inflatable boats at Metstrade 2026. Partnering with the US design engineering company CSE Marine Products, the Barton team will supply this essential inflatable boat solution to the global market. Find out more on the Barton Marine stand (01.474). NeverSoft™ caps are engineered with an integrated watertight solar-powered battery charging system, combined with a pressure sensor and pump to ensure a RIB’s chambers are properly inflated at all times. A pressure relief valve set to 4 psi (280 mbar), prevents damage from over inflation for precise targeted pressure. The NeverSoft™ cap requires minimal maintenance and ensures a “fit-and-forget” solution for pressure loss in RIBs. Your boat is always ready to cruise at optimum psi pressure. NeverSoft™ caps are compatible with a wide range of inflatable boats constructed with universal valves from Halkey-Roberts, the Leafield C7/D7, and Zodiac specific valves. The caps help increase vessel performance and can significantly extend a boat’s life by maintaining the required pressure consistently in the tubes. This reduces flex-wear and premature material damage, while maximising boat performance for speed and a smoother ride. NeverSoft™ caps should be installed to each valve on an inflatable vessel which will autonomously determine the boat’s typical operating environment, including temperature cycles, storage conditions and usage patterns. After a short learning period, the caps synchronise and balance inflation adjustments simultaneously during the day, gradually adjusting tube pressure to a targeted, average high pressure, for equal pressure across all chambers. NeverSoft™ maintains optimal pressure at all times, so RIBs can always be ready for action out on the water. Discover the features and benefits of this clever range for RIB users on the Barton Marine stand at Metstrade 01.474 from the 17th to 19th November. |
