How We Ship Boat Docks

We follow a meticulous step-by-step process to ensure the successful delivery of your boat docks and their materials.

Provide Dock Details: You share the dock’s dimensions, weight, number of sections, material, and pickup/delivery locations so we can properly assess the shipment.
We Verify Access & Delivery Requirements: Before dispatching a truck, we evaluate site access, marina rules, driveway limitations, and any waterfront constraints to ensure the truck can safely reach both locations.
Trailer & Equipment Selection: We match your dock with the correct trailer type — flatbed, step-deck, double-drop, or stretch — based on length, width, height, and section count.
Oversize Permits & Safe Routing: If your dock exceeds legal dimensions, we secure oversize permits, pilot cars, and plan the safest route to your lake, marina, or waterfront site.
Pickup, Loading, & Securement: We coordinate with experienced carriers who know how to load dock sections, secure lightweight frames, protect decking panels, and stabilize large floating segments.
Delivery & Final Placement Coordination: We manage arrival timing, access restrictions, and communication with installation teams to ensure your dock arrives safely and on schedule.
