Key Features

Superior Construction: Our Dock Floats are crafted from a thick-walled, rotationally molded polyethylene shell that wraps around expanded polystyrene (EPS), the premier flotation material. This construction not only ensures maximum buoyancy but also provides impact resistance and safeguards against marine life damage.

Eco-Friendly: With a density of 1–1.5 lb., our dock floats  surpass the 5% maximum water absorption test, ensuring longevity and environmental compliance. The thick plastic casing filled with EPS exceeds all contemporary environmental regulations.

Versatile Attachment Points: Tailor your dock to your specific needs with our flexible attachment system. Our floats feature 8 mounting points on standard 12” and 18” centers, with our 4’x6′ floats boasting 10 attachment points, allowing for a wide range of configurations and secure docking solutions.

Adaptable and Easy Installation: Designed with the user in mind, our dock floats are incredibly easy to install, making your dock setup or expansion a breeze.

Warranty: 12-year warranty

(See illustration below.) Additional flotation may be necessary under high load points, such as where a gangway rests upon your dock.

Slotted flange for lag or through bolt installation.

 

COMPUTATIONS OF LOADING REQUIREMENTS

LENGTH x WIDTH = SQUARE FEET OF DOCK

SQUARE FEET x 35 LBS

(15 LBS. Weight of Dock + 20 LBS. weight of people = TOTAL LOAD

DIVIDE TOTAL LOAD BY DOCK FLOAT MODEL NUMBER

Example:

Step 1. 10’ x12’ dock = 120 sq. ft.

Step 2. 120 sq. ft x 35 lbs. = 4,200 lbs.

Step 3. 4,200 lbs. divided by Model 470 = 9 floats
