Dock Wheels in Marine Berthing Applications

What are dock wheels?
Dock wheels are rolling fenders designed for mounting on dock structures. They are generally built from heavy-duty plastic or steel to withstand water, salt, and other harsh conditions. Sizes and styles vary, but the function is the same - to guide boats and other craft in and out of berths.

How do dock wheels work?
Dock wheels are mounted on the sides or corners of a dock and can be set at different heights to suit varying water levels. A swivel bracket can be used so the wheel turns as the hull makes contact on approach. Some configurations include locking hardware that holds the wheel in position during loading and unloading.

Why specify dock wheels?
Dock wheels serve several functions in dock and marina installations:
1. Protection: The wheel gives a defined contact surface as boats approach and leave, limiting impact damage to both the hull and the dock structure.
2. Berthing efficiency: Boats can come alongside and depart with less correction, which shortens berth turnaround in busy marinas.
3. Adaptability: Adjustable mounting accommodates changing water levels without reworking the installation.
4. Service life: Materials are selected for saltwater exposure, supporting long maintenance intervals in dock and jetty installations.
