Aluminum & Steel Truss Floating Docks

Commercial-Quality Strength & Durable Truss Docks

The Hewitt aluminum & steel truss floating docks incorporate engineering principles proven in bridge and crane construction. The open dock truss frame design provides maximum strength with minimum weight and creates less wave resistance for superior stability. Heavy-duty structural support tubes are used at both the top and bottom of the side frames. The entire frame is reinforced with structural channel bracing and extra strong angle crossbars. Aluminum & steel truss floating dock frameoptions are available.

Floating Dock Hinges

Specially designed full-width hinges are recommended for connecting sections. Hinge connections prevent undue stress on the structure by allowing the dock to flex in rough water conditions or in locations where water levels change rapidly.
