Highfield RIBs: Leading the Way in RIB Manufacturing

One of Highfield RIBs' key strengths is its fully integrated manufacturing process. Every component is made in-house, ensuring the highest level of quality control. This is a significant advantage over other RIB manufacturers that rely on other suppliers for their components. Highfield is the only RIB manufacturer with its own factory in China, which enables the company to have complete control over the manufacturing process and to ensure that every product meets its exacting standards.

Highfield RIBs also has a strong focus on materials and suppliers. The company only selects the best materials and works with the best suppliers available to ensure that its products are of the highest quality. This attention to detail and quality is reflected in every RIB that the company produces.

All products and parts are designed using CAD and then cut on CNC machinery in-house. This approach ensures that each component is precisely manufactured to the exact specifications required. The result is a product that is of exceptional quality and durability.

Highfield offers a wide range of RIBs, from small tenders to large offshore models. The company's RIBs are designed to meet the needs of a variety of customers, from leisure boaters to commercial operators. The company also offers a range of accessories and options to customize each RIB to the customer's exact requirements.

Highfield Ultralite Range: 2.4m - 3.4m

The Highfield Ultralite Range is a series of single deck dinghies that are designed with weight in mind. These tenders are a great alternative to soft bottom boats as they offer better performance thanks to their hard hulls. Despite their light weight, they are roomy and strong, making them easy to transport and launch with a single person. The quality of the finish and attention to detail in the design is impressive. The Ultralite Range is constructed using powder-coated marine-grade aluminum for the hull and 1100 Dtex fabric ensuring durability and longevity.

Highfield Classic Range: 2.6m - 4.6m

The Highfield Classic Range of double deck hulled dinghies offer an extra level of comfort with the added benefit of keeping your feet dry. Despite their high-end finish and luxury look, these tenders are designed to work hard. With a durable aluminum hull and full-length keel guards, they are ideal for beach-hopping with friends and family. The Classic Range offers impressive performance with smaller engines due to the large weight savings compared to equivalent GRP tenders. Additionally, these tenders have excellent payload capacities, making them suitable for a variety of users. The hulls of the Classics are constructed with 2.5mm thick powder-coated marine-grade aluminum, and the tubes are made of 1100 dtex coated fabric, ensuring durability and reliability.

Easy to tow, launch and recover, and designed to retain agile performance for years to come, the Highfield Sport Range offers the perfect solution for any requirement, from a low weight garage tender or runabout, to an offshore mile crunching cruiser.

Highfield Patrol Range: 4.2m - 8.6m
