Dura-LITE™ Roller Docks
If you have a gradual slope and firm lake bottom, rolling docks make installation and removal a breeze.
Great Northern Docks’ roller docks are designed to be as portable and durable as possible. We use 4’x16′ sections, along with optional removable decking or perforated decking.
One to two joined sections can usually be moved by hand. Sections join together with a piano hinge or standard J-Brackets. If desired, sections can be separated at the hinge.
Our basic units come with two 5 foot legs per section and a wheel kit. The 24” wheels are made of tough polyethylene and have drain holes that allow them to sink. Longer dock legs and braces are available if necessary.
Roller docks make install easier!
Dura-LITE™ roller docks were designed with high quality and ease-of-install as top priorities.
Our removable decking (Cedar or Synthetic) is optional. This allows you to reduce the weight off the dock before moving or transporting it. This feature is critical if you have a wall or riprap to get over before effective rolling can begin. Most other roller docks are too heavy to manually lift.
Our heavy duty tubular frame is stronger and more resistant to twisting forces than truss frame roller docks. The tubular construction is also more durable to handle, as truss frames are prone to bending at the toothpick size components that make up the truss.
When can you use a roller dock?
Use of a roller dock depends on the ground type and the slope to the water.
A rolling dock should only be used where it can roll without sinking into mud or getting stuck on rocks. This makes sandy and gravelly lake beds ideal for a roller dock.
A gentle slope will be easier to guide the rolling dock in and out. If the slope is too steep, it will be more difficult to maneuver the roller dock during install and removal. Rolling docks handle best when the shoreline is free of sudden drop offs or large irregular rock piles.
On lakes where the water level decreases throughout the summer months, a rolling dock can be pushed out into deeper water as necessary. Roller docks are a great option in this scenario.
