A Unique Rescue: How Palmer Johnson Saved a Golf Course Ferry

At Palmer Johnson Power Systems, we pride ourselves on being a leading distributor and service provider of drivetrain components for the industrial off-highway and marine markets. Our expertise allows us to tackle unique and challenging projects, and one recent experience highlights just how diverse our work can be.

A Call for Help

Not long ago, a new customer reached out with an urgent request. They needed a marine transmission as soon as possible. The catch? This transmission was for a golf course pontoon ferry boat. The ferry boat is a crucial part of their operations, transporting golf carts from the tee box area across a lake to the rest of the golf hole. Without it, their business and golfing customers would face significant disruptions.

Rapid Response and Swift Solution

Understanding the importance of getting the ferry back in operation, Palmer Johnson sprang into action. Within a few days, we shipped a new transmission to the golf course. Thanks to the efficiency and expertise of our team, the new gearbox was installed quickly, and the ferry was back up and running in no time.

The Joy of Variety

One of the aspects we love most about working in the marine industry is the variety of vessels we get to work with daily. From ferries and thrill boats to workboats, law enforcement, firefighting, and military vessels, each project brings its own set of challenges and rewards. This golf course ferry project was a perfect example of the diverse and dynamic nature of our work.

A Successful Outcome

Seeing the golf ferry in operation with its new transmission was incredibly satisfying. It was a testament to our team's dedication and expertise. At Palmer Johnson Power Systems, we are committed to providing exceptional service and solutions for all our customers, no matter how unique their needs may be.
