Anodized aluminum dock sections
are one of the best options for a dock system. The combination of light
weight, high strength, cool to walk on, and easy stack-ability make this
dock design. Alumi-Span pioneered this type of docking system in the
early 60’s. After developing a leg system to use in the late 50’s on a
type of wood decking, eventually the aluminum dock section was born and
even received Alcoa’s “Aluminum Product of the Year” Award. Original
designs used a type of aluminum scaffolding plank. Ultimately the
design was further improved by using an “F” side stringer. The now
standard 4-inch-tall “F” channel side rail can be found on many
different dock systems today. It is still one of the more dominate
designs in the industry.
