Double Float
Our unique service channel allows you to run water and/or power through you dock and can also be used as a security device linking all the floats together in a secure way.
Dimensions: 966mm x 483mm x 390mm (38″ x 19″ x 15.5″)
Weight: 11.5kg (25 1bs)
Single Float
Our unique service channel allows you to run water and/or power through you dock and can also be used as a security device linking all the floats together in a secure way.
Dimensions: 483mm x 483mm x 390mm (19″ x 19″ x 15.5″)
Weight: 6.5kg (14 1bs)
Double Low Float
Ideal for use for applications where low water clearance is an advantage for example swimmers, rowers and canoeist’s. It can also be used to create slip ways for floating boat parks.
As a working platform it also gives the user the better access to the waterline while still maintaining the excellent stability of all VersaDock products.
Our unique service channel allows you to run water and/or power through you dock and can also be used as a security device linking all the floats together in a secure way.
Dimensions: 966mm x 483mm x 230mm (38″ x 19″ x 9″)
Weight: 11.5kg (25 1bs)
Single Low Float
Just like the double low float, the single low float ideal for use for applications where low water clearance is an advantage for example swimmers, rowers and canoeist’s.
Our unique service channel allows you to run water and/or power through you dock and can also be used as a security device linking all the floats together in a secure way.
Dimensions: 483mm x 483mm x 230mm (19″ x 19″ x 9″)
Weight: 6.5kg (14 1bs)
V Float: Storing Boats Clear of the Water
This allows your asset to remain free from weed growth, barnacles and worms. It eliminates the need to ‘anti-foul’, which reduces costs and helps protect the marine environment. Clean boats use less fuel which again reduces costs and means your boat is faster through the water.
Based on our single float, the drive on ‘V’ Float is immensely strong and, as it has no moving parts, is maintenance free. Based on our single float, it also saves space compared with other products on the market and therefore offers the commercial user a better return on investment.

This blow-moulded pin has a robust thread and unique service and/or security feature. Using a ‘T’-bar tool, pins are screwed in to nuts which are fixed to the corner tabs of each float and tightly fix modules together.
When fixed in position the top surface of the pin becomes part of the pontoon deck and is textured with a checker plate pattern to give increased grip.
Used when more than one layer of float modules are needed, for pontoons and platforms requiring increased water line clearance or buoyancy.
Long connecting pins are threaded and work in exactly the same way as the shorter standard internal connecting pin.
Its robust thread is tightened using a Hex tool into a sliding nut to create a strong fix of the corner tabs offering strength and rigidity to the pontoon and/or dock.
The stanchions are separate from either the corner base or the standard base. This allows the stanchions to be placed anywhere on the dock and in any configuration.
They connect to existing pontoons or walls, and drop through the external tabs, this allows the floats to be securely attached, but free to move up and down.
Made from polypropylene, it is tough and durable.
The Versadock lightweight cleat is suitable for dinghies and the heavy duty cleat is used for mooring larger vessels alongside.
Float Size & Buoyancy
The general sizes available are 966 mm x 483 mm x 390 mm which weigh approximately 11.5kg per double float.
This makes them light weight enough to be carried by hand to the water’s edge when there is limited access. Each square metre of pontoon can take up to 175kg of evenly distributed weight.
They have buoyancy of the following measurements:
175kg/m² with one layer
350kg/m² with two layers
