Typical Truss Dock System
Specifications

•FRAME

The Truss Frames are fabricated from heavy-duty 1.5” x 1.5” x 3/16” carbon steel angles, separated by ½” diagonal round stock. A MIG welding process is used to weld the frames in accordance to AWS Standards. The frames are pre-punched to allow each frame to be bolted together side-to-side and/or end-to-end. The frames will be welded into 4’W x 10’L x 12”H box frames. Once all fabrication has been completed the entire frame is hot-dipped galvanized in accordance with ASTM-A-123.

•FASTENERS:

All Frame and float fasteners will be hot-dipped galvanized according to ASTM-153. Deck Screws will be mechanically galvanized.  

•FLOTATION

The float drums are rotationally molded from high-density polyethylene (.150 nominal wall thicknesses) and filled with virgin expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. The foam is 1.0 – 1.5 # per. Cu. Ft. and meets Corps of Engineers Regulation #36CFR Part 27 and the “Hunt Water Absorption Test”. The rugged, seamless encasement will provide 100% protection to all surfaces of the flotation material. The flotation units will be securely attached to the dock’s frame by means of bolt and nut. Flotation units can easily be replaced if necessary. All floats have a Ten- (10) Year Warranty.
