ABSTRACT:
A maintenance free, easy to install portable dock system has a rotational molded shell constructed of a UV resistant, linear low density polyethylene. The dock shell includes a plurality of internal columnar truss supports strategically located to provide structural integrity. An "L" or "T" pier type or floating type dock can be formulated simply by coupling a desired number of dock shells together in a desired configuration via a full width self-aligning latching structure which does not require the hand and eye coordination generally required for known dock structures. The dock shell has support beams which run longitudinally over the entire length of the dock shell. Metal stringers are inserted into the outer most support beams to further enhance the structural integrity and increase the rigidity of the dock shell. Buoyancy for the dock shell is ensured with a polyurethane foam which is injected into the dock shell.
