Aluminum gangway - PMS

Made by Premier Marine Solutions, aluminum docks are designed to combine light weight, and ease of assembly with affordability, while maintaining the high quality standard Premier Marine Solutions is famous for.

Our aluminum dock is ideal for most small water bodies where light boats are used, such as pontoon boats, aluminum boats, and smaller fiberglass watercraft. While classified as our lightest weight dock, it is still stronger than most aluminum docks on the market, with a 5″ tubular frame, which offers superior strength against vertical load and twisting. This stands in contrast to most other aluminum docks built with channel or trusses, which do not offer much torsional strength, and are more prone to damage from handling and from bumping. Framing also includes decking support every 16″, compared to the industry norm of 24″ spacing.

Stationary Aluminum Docks employ the use of rugged 1-½” schedule 40 galvanized or aluminum pipe for legs. This keeps cost down, and pipe allows the installer to drive the legs into the lake bed, which secures the dock and makes it more suitable for tying boats. The basic frame has all the bracing you need to take you up to 3-4ft of water depth. In 4-8ft of water, we recommend using either our Hook and Lock braces to increase strength and stability.

Aluminum docks can also be set up to stand on feet for temporary tie-up, general recreation, or use of kayaks, canoes and rowboats. Adding sections is a snap with our Snap-on J connector brackets. Aluminum docks are available with a choice of Cedar or perforated (fiberglass reinforced polypropylene) decking. Decking panels are removable, allowing the user to easily carry the 80lb empty frame (4×10). This is especially advantageous in environments where repeated removal and re-installation is required. Our convenient cedar decking latches are designed to hold deck panels firmly in place in the frame, or quickly release the panels for removal.
