Modular Dock & Pontoon System

t dock

Originally conceived as part of the fully mobile "six pack" comprising dinghies, inflatable support craft, modular dock, C Crane and trailer.

- It provides for the transferring needs of sailors and helpers.

- Allows boats to operate out in deeper water and removes any keel handling problems.

- Is modular so is easily broken down for storage and transport.

There are two systems, the "T" Dock and "H" Dock

The "T" as its name suggests has one main float with the walkway attaching at its centre. The "H" has two main floats with the walkway or ramp pivoting on the rear of the two alloy tubes which connect the two floats. Between these two tubes is a Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP - fiberglass) Bridge Deck providing a level working platform.

Ramps and walkways are also in two variations, the GRP modular walkway in 4 metre sections used in near horizontal situations off a beach, and a 4 metre GRP or 6 metre alloy ramp for use off low walls, banks or jetties.

The GRP walkway can be used with either model and consists of 4 metre sections supported by a pair of floats at their join. 1, 2 or even 3 walkway sections are realistic depending on the length of shallow water to be spanned.

Alloy ramps are mainly used with the "H" Dock and can adopt a slight gradient but can also be assembled on the "T" Dock in a horizontal aspect off a low bank, wall, beach or jetty. This is because the ramp/walkway on the "T" Dock is fixed while the ramp pivots on the "H" Dock.

While the "H" Dock uses two main floats and will support more weight, it takes five minutes longer to assemble and may be more appropriate where ramp angles are experienced and in semi permanent installations. The "T" Dock has one main float so is lighter and easier to assemble and is particularly suited to mobile and portable use.

However both systems are very portable, they take only minutes to set up and can be fitted with davits as a transferring aid for both sailors and keels.

Modular dock fits comfortably on Combo Trailer for storage and transportation.
