Snap Dock's Superior Stability

Posted Jan 1st, 2024

The secret to why Snap Dock Modular Floating Docks have superior stability is under the floating dock section.

Each part of the Snap Dock system enhances your waterfront experience, including its design, buoyancy, and stability. Impressively, a single section of the Snap Dock, measuring 5 ft x 10 ft, boasts an astounding 3,150 pounds of buoyancy. The innovative design beneath each section is the key to this high performance. Snap Dock has cleverly integrated air compartments into the bottom of the dock sections. These compartments trap air, contributing significantly to the dock's buoyancy and stability.

The trapped air design is a cornerstone of the Snap Dock's superior stability and buoyancy compared to other floating dock systems. This design creates a negative pressure, functioning like a vacuum, securing the dock to the water's surface. This means when weight is applied to one corner of a Snap Dock section, the buoyancy underfoot is maintained while the opposite end remains anchored to the water. This counterbalances the corner load, ensuring the dock section stays stable and level.

Understanding the technology behind the Snap Dock Modular Floating Dock is key. When you add more sections to the dock, the system's overall stability increases exponentially. Snap Dock's innovative, color-matched, and silent polymer coupling system connects each dock section seamlessly from both top and bottom. This connection is made through a composite rod and nut, creating a truss-like structure that distributes the dock's stability uniformly across all connected sections.
