There are three primary techniques we like for securing a stationary ramp to a dock. Please note, the idea is to simply secure the ramp in such a way so it will not shimmy or vibrate off the dock when in use.
- Spot-Weld – If your ramp makes enough direct contact with a steel plate capping your dock, we encourage spot-welding and are happy to secure the services of a local mobile spot-welder as part of our Turnkey Installation Service.
- Anchor Bolt – Our new ramps include factory-drilled anchor bolt holes in anchor tabs attached to the top and bottom of each side rail. We are happy to secure the services of a local handyman to install anchor bolts as part of our Turnkey Installation Service.
- Anchor Brackets/Chains – Customers may purchase Dock Mounting Kits including heavy-duty brackets and chains. The brackets are anchor bolted to the face of the dock and the ramp’s safety chains are pulled tight to hold the ramp firmly against the dock ledge. We are happy to secure the services of a local handyman to install anchor brackets as part of our Turnkey Installation Service.
