THE
FRAME
Our world-class rail system, also known as the single-plane system, is
manufactured with an outer frame composed entirely of aluminum tubing
or rails. Seventy percent of commercial docks sold by ShoreMaster utilize
the single-plane system. The world-class system can be constructed with
sidewalls of a variety of sizes depending on your site conditions. Much
like the truss system, larger rails are used for rougher waters. And
all of the aluminum structures on our marina systems feature polyethylene
floats and are available either with aluminum, vinyl or wood decks.

KEY FACT
You
can add slide-in bumpers without the need for screws or rivets which
add holes and detract from the appearance of the dock.

Five Major Benefits of the ShoreMaster World-Class Rail System:
|
- No
rust or corrosion, so they’ll last longer and maintain
their attractive appearance.
- Lighter
than steel, so they're easier to remove and install where docks
are seasonal.
- Aluminum
frames flex, providing greater elasticity than steel.
- No
secondary treatment needed, making them more attractive than
galvanized frames.
- Not
affected by salt water making them ideal for installations in
coastal locations.

FLOTATION UNITS
The most important part of a floating dock is flotation. So we don't
take chances. We manufacture and test our own complete line of rotationally
molded floats at our ShoreMaster plant. Each flotation shell is made
of durable polyethylene and then filled with expanded polystyrene. Our
floats can accommodate virtually any dock design requirement. We offer
a complete line of float sizes: 12", 16", 20", and 24" floats.

DECKING
We also offer several decking options to enhance the appearance and durability
of your dock. Our most common deck option is wood, although certain wave
and water conditions may require another solution. |

(Cedar, Pine, Fir, or Brazilian Hardwood)
- Trex® (a
wood-plastic composite
- Concrete
