Crank-Up Docks

ALUMINUM CRANK-UP DOCKS  

 “…nothing could be easier…”

We fabricate our aluminum frame crank-up docks in-house in our own welding shop.  This guarantees a quality project and allows us to meet the strict rules of the NH DES Wetlands Bureau.  Our crank-up docks can be seen on most of the lakes in New Hampshire.

We can provide turn-key services, or you can take care of the dock yourself.  These docks have been designed with your ease of use in mind.  The docks are supported by 4×6 PT wood posts which are cross-braced underneath the dock for stability and strength.  The posts stay on the frame when lifted such that no one needs to get wet during the install/removal process.   These also create a “boat friendly” place to tie off too and provide a great place to mount bumpers.

The dock includes an “A” frame such that we do not require a large tree aligned with the dock for hoisting leverage.  We can install a “dead-man” and winch post for easy hoisting.

These docks qualify as “seasonal” structures thereby providing for a streamlined permitting process.  Many of these docks require little if any shoreline modification further streamlining the permit process.

We stock 6 ft x 40 ft docks and can quickly fabricate any size you may require in-house.  We have samples at our stores in Gilford and Sunapee so stop by and see them firsthand…

These docks are incredibly rigid as they are hinged to a secure point on shore and cross braced under the deck.  We can use existing boulders or pour a concrete hinge pad (above full lake level) and both methods are acceptable to NH DES.  This makes for a very strong dock!

 

 The winch mechanism can be attached to trees, boulders, or poured concrete “dead-men”.  There is no limit to the creative solutions we have developed to provide a safe and secure anchoring system.

 No trees?  No problem!  We can fabricate winch posts and dead-men as necessary.

All of our equipment is mobile and we can perform on all the lakes in New Hampshire.
