OVERVIEW

ALUMIDOCK 32" WIDE ALUMINUM DOCK

True One-Person Dock Installation — No Need to Enter the Water

The Alumidock 32" Wide Aluminum Dock is specifically designed for true single-person installation. In fact, it is one of the only dock systems available that can be installed entirely by one person without ever getting into the water. This is made possible by Alumidock’s unique pivot pin and hinge bar system, which allows each section to be installed from the shoreline or from an already installed dock section and then lowered into position in a controlled manner. Instead of wrestling heavy dock frames in the water or requiring multiple installers, each section simply pivots into place and connects securely to the next. Deeper water sections may require an additional hand, but can still be done from the docks surface.

The initial installation may require additional assistance and entering the water to properly adjust the leg assemblies for the correct water depth and to ensure the dock is level. Once the legs are set and the system is properly aligned, however, seasonal removal and future installations become much easier. After the initial setup, dock sections can typically be installed or removed by a single person from the shoreline or from the dock itself, eliminating the need to step into the water during normal seasonal installation.

 

 

DOCK SECTION LAYOUT OPTIONS

Alumidock 32" systems are built around four core section types, allowing you to create straight runs, L-shapes, or T-configurations with a clean, modular approach. See the image and information below to identify where each section is used.

 

Starter Section (Shore Connection)

The Starter Section is used when beginning a dock directly from shore without a seawall bracket. This section establishes the foundation and alignment for the rest of the dock.

  • Includes drive pipe and mounting brackets for secure shoreline anchoring
  • Provides a stable starting point for the entire dock system
  • Features hinge bars on the lake side to connect the next section

 

Center Section (Main Dock Run)

The Center Section makes up the main body of the dock as it extends out into the water. These sections are repeated as needed to achieve your desired dock length.

  • Pivot pins on the shore side connect to the previous section
  • Hinge bars on the lake side allow the next section to attach
  • Designed for straight runs and modular expansion
  • Maintains consistent alignment and structural continuity

 

End Section (Straight Dock Termination)

If your dock runs straight out from shore, the final section will be an End Section. This section provides a finished termination for straight dock layouts.

  • Pivot pins on the shore side connect to the previous section
  • No hinge bars on the lake side, creating a clean end point
  • Includes support components for stability at the end of the dock

 

Center End Section (L or T Configurations)

To create an L-shaped or T-shaped dock layout, a Center End Section is used. Once installed, an End Section is then added to the Center End Section to complete the L or T design.

  • Features angled hinge bars on one side to create an L configuration
  • Features hinge bars on both sides to create a T configuration
  • Support brackets extend off the end of the section, keeping the sides clear for additional dock connections
  • Designed specifically to allow layout changes without interfering with structural support

 

Whether you are building a simple walkway or a more complex dock system, Alumidock’s section design keeps installation straightforward while allowing maximum flexibility.

 

MODULAR, DURABLE AND LIGHTWEIGHT

The Alumidock system is built from high-strength marine-grade aluminum, providing excellent durability while remaining light enough for one-person handling. Corrosion-resistant aluminum construction and will not rot, warp, or deteriorate like wood docks. They are designed for long-term performance in most waterfront environments. The modular design allows docks to be built to virtually any length or configuration. Each dock section features a rigid aluminum frame with integrated decking and leg sockets, allowing adjustable support legs to maintain a level walking surface. The 32" width is perfect for connecting shorelines to boat lifts or swim areas.
