Feather-LITE™ Standard Duty Aluminum Docks
Made in Maine, Feather-LITE™ lightweight aluminum docks are lighter, easier to assemble, and more affordable, without sacrificing quality.
The Feather-LITE™ dock is ideal for most small water bodies where light boats are used, such as pontoon boats, aluminum boats, and smaller fiberglass watercraft. While classified as our lightest weight dock, the Feather-LITE™ is still stronger than most lightweight aluminum docks on the market, with a 5″ tubular frame, which offers superior strength against vertical load and twisting. This stands in contrast to most other aluminum docks built with channel or trusses, which do not offer much torsional strength, and are more prone to damage from handling and from bumping. Framing also includes decking support every 16″, compared to the industry norm of 24″ spacing.
Feather-LITE™ stationary Aluminum Docks employ the use of rugged 1-½” schedule 40 galvanized or aluminum pipe for legs. This keeps cost down, and pipe allows the installer to drive the legs into the lake bed, which secures the dock and makes it more suitable for tying boats. The basic frame has all the bracing you need to take you up to 3-4ft of water depth. In 4-8ft of water, we recommend using our Hook and Lock braces to increase strength and stability.
Quick tip: 1-1/2″ schedule 40 pipe has an outer diameter of 1-7/8″.
Feather-LITE™ lightweight aluminum docks can also be set up to stand on feet for temporary tie-up, general recreation, or use of kayaks, canoes and rowboats. Adding sections is a snap with our snap-on J connector brackets. Our Feather-LITE™ docks are available with perforated (fiberglass reinforced polypropylene) decking. Feather-LITE™ with the cedar decking option is no longer available.
