We supply the floats in sizes starting from of 400mm/1,4`b up to 1200mm/3,9`. For transportation reason we supply them usually as modules by an lenght of 3m/9,8` for each module. But the length also can be customize. In this case you can reach any lenght you want by adapting float modules together as much as you need.
depending on the wheight of the house above, material thickness can be from 6mm/0,24" up to 12mm/0,47"
Standart colour is light green like to see on the photo - but can be customized as black.
Also the lenght can be customized. If you want the float in one piece instead of in modules, we can do it.

This modular system floating dock with plastic floats are light and easy to handle.
They are assembled using pre-fabricated components and are connected by bolts & nuts.
Our floating dock is fully modular and simple to install. They can be used as floatinghome platform, as gangway, as boat moorings and many other purposes.
The pontoons are suitable also in shallow waters. The pontoon consists of a polyethylene exterior shell and expanded foam interior filling, seamless,one-piece construction. Fix way: connected the frame with screws fixed,then decking on the top.
The decking usually comes by wood plastic composite (WPC) but can be also choosen by Aluminium, solid wood panels or whatever is demanded.
The open framework design provides maximum strength with minimum possible weight and creates less wave resistance for superior stability.
Heavy-duty structural support tubes are used at both the top and bottom of the side frames.
The entire frame is reinforced with structural channel bracing and extra strong angle crossbars. Corners are strengthened with extra large gussets.
The truss system may be manufactured with a 12", 16", 30" or 48" sidewall, depending on site conditions. The larger the truss, the stronger the frame. For example, the 12" truss will be sufficient for the main framework of most marina systems, but a 16" or 30" truss may be needed for rougher water,
Our standart size of one module = 2,50m (8,2`) x 5 m (16,4`) which is 14,5 qm / 156 sqft. Buoyance = 6.500 kg (14.330lbs.). Sizes and buyoance can be customized.
Price (incl. shipping to any wordport) per sqm would be about 595 USD/qm or 10,7 sqft. Min. order = 2 modules.
The ideal wheight of the house (like an 20ft. containerhouse as for example) on top of such module would be about 2.500 kg. /88.000 lbs. to reach an distance from waterline to house of about 0,5m /1,7`.
This pontoon is an low cost version of an pontoon which can be used as an floating home or even an houseboat pontoon of up to about 10-15t. (max. 33.000 lbs.)
It comes as an DIY Kit like to see on the photo left and has to be assembled on site.
We supply the Kit in aluminium and in galvanized steel. The floatingBox got an size of 1200mm x 900mm/3,9"x2,9"). The aluminium type we mostly recommend because it´s most durable in all kinds of water.
The box consist of the metalbars and 2 barrels. Min. order are 30 floating boxes which gives roughly 30 sqm /322sqft.). The boyance of one floatingBox = 280 kg/617lbs. The barrel kit is built in 4 foot increments. By choosing this system with it´s floatingBox system You can choose any width or length you want.
The price for an floatingBox of the galvanized steel version = 199 USD, for the aluminium version = 249 USD prices includes shipping cost to any worldport but does not include the deck cover material. This can be supplied extra with the delivery if demanded.
T he cost for the barrels are not included as they can be easily bought on site. For that size are about 136 200ltr. /55gal PU drums needed. They can be often bought also as used ones. Of course we also can supply the barrels if demaded. One barrel may cost about 50-60 USD incl. shipping.
As this pontoon is modular which makes it easy to customize the size and configuration for maximum versatility and to almost any layout.
It is possible to make pontoon/dock systems over 100 feet long by combining configurations or by adding sections. Even later due to the modular design, you can add length or width to your dock at anytime you want in the future.
WINTER HASSLES ARE ELIMINATED! Leave your dock in the water year round even if your lake freezes because ice can’t attach to the round curvature of the barrels. Your dock will pop up right on top of the ice.
This platform will support 17kg/38 lbs/sq ft while keeping the aluminum frame two inches above the water. That’s over 11.000kg/24,000 lbs spread evenly across the platform.
This will work equally well in fresh or salt water as only the plastic barrels will be touching the water.
This platform can be used as for example for floatinghome or even an houseboat when the wheight of the house will be not more than about 8000 kg. (17.000lbs). The total cost for a 40×16′ Platform including all framing, fasteners, plywood decking, and shipping to any seaport will be about 20.000 USD.
