1. Is the work float stable? Yes, and you can attach 2 or more floats together to get even more stability. Once you have at least 12 feet of float you get real stability, and when you get up above 16 feet you can stand safely on the corners. Feel free to drop your anchor down on the corner of one of our large work floats.

2. What makes it float? There is a block of foam (polystyrene) inside the float, not just air! It cannot sink. |
|
| |
3. How portable are they? Our heaviest 8" profile float weighs only 103 pounds and is easily moved by two persons - connect the floats together and push them into the water.
AccuDock work floats fit perfectly in the back of a pick-up.

4. What's it made out of? HDPE (high density polyethylene) 1. Quality floating docks in most marinas around the world utilize floatation made of polyethylene, it is also the same material high quality truck bed liners are made of. It is very durable and comes with a 15 year warranty. Doesn´t fade or crack. |
|
| |
5. How can I attach 2 or more floats together? We suggest using the AccuDock patented aluminum frame system, which was designed for the sole purpose of attaching dock sections together easily and rigidly so that there is no rocking or rolling between sections. It is made of marine grade aluminum, and allows the user to connect the frames together end to end, or side by side, "T", "L" and "U" shaped, whatever shape you desire.

6. How much weight can the floats hold? Each 4' X 8' float is rated to 1055 pounds. On our larger floats, you can put scaffolding, equipment, machinery, anchors - the bigger you make the float - the more it will stably hold. (see Specs page)

7. Do I need to put bottom paint on the float? No. Bottom growth comes off easily, and will not harm the float. Bottom paint does not adhere well to the polyethylene surface. |
|
| |
8. How far off the water does the surface of the dock sit? 6-7 inches. We specialize in "low profile" floats, but can custom make your dock any height you want. Our low profile docks allow you to get down to the boot stripe of a boat easily when waxing the side of your boat.

9. Do you need bumpers to protect the boat from the side of the float? No. However we do sell a "bumper package" which is two 5" X 18" Taylor Made bumpers (for the individual 4 X 8 work float). It is always better to have a bumper between your boat and anything that comes in contact with it!
For framed work floats we have bump strip available to protect your boat from the edge of the float.
