Articouple EU

Articouple.EU is the authorized European representative of Taisei Engineering Consultants, Ltd. of Japan, the pioneer of the modern pusher barge coupling system.

This channel covers the Articouple and Triofix hydraulic coupling systems: how they work, where they are in service, and what to consider when specifying one for a new build, a conversion or a re-powering.

Since the first installation in 1972, more than 336 systems have been delivered across 15 countries, on tankers, bulk carriers, dredgers, LNG barges and crane barges, from small coastal units up to 30,000 DWT. Six models span the range, from 2 pin side couplers for inland and coastal work to 3 pin Triofix systems that give a pusher barge unit seaworthiness equivalent to a conventional cargo ship.

We provide spare parts, technical support and new build consultation across Europe.
