Our Founding Story

In the early 1990s, two boater friends realized they shared a common frustration. Like many waterfront property owners, they discovered that traditional wooden docks required constant maintenance, annual setup and dismantling. These docks were also prone to rot, splinters and environmental concerns. Even the so-called “top-of-the-line” floating options at the time proved inadequate, disintegrating after the first storm.

This experience sparked a vision — to develop a dock system that would stand up to nature’s challenges while maximizing time on the water. Even with naysayers constantly stating that their goal was impossible, the two friends pushed on, trying to innovate a flexible, durable, environmentally friendly docking solution that allowed them to enjoy the water on their terms.

The result was EZ Dock, a pioneering solution that has since transformed the industry and delighted countless customers across residential, commercial, industrial and government sectors.

Innovation at Our Core

At EZ Dock, innovation is the foundation of everything we do. Our patented designs combine strength and stability with lightweight construction and low maintenance requirements. This unique approach has led to the development of diverse products, including:

  • Modular floating docks
  • Boat and PWC lifts
  • Kajakk- og kanolanseringer
  • Various accessories and add-ons

EZ Dock Innovation

What sets EZ Dock apart is our commitment to continuous improvement. We’ve cultivated an “innovation loop” that keeps us at the cutting edge of dock technology. Our extensive network of distributors provides valuable customer feedback, which our engineering team transforms into new features and enhancements. This process ensures that EZ Dock products are constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of water enthusiasts.

We regularly collaborate with industry experts, marine biologists and environmental consultants to stay ahead of regulatory changes and emerging best practices. This proactive approach allows us to anticipate market needs, develop solutions that meet current standards and prepare our customers for future requirements.

Engineered for Excellence

The EZ Dock difference lies in our advanced engineering and construction techniques. Each aspect of our design has been carefully considered and refined to provide the best possible experience for our customers.

Rotomolded Technology

Our marine-grade polyethylene flotation chambers are 100% foam-free and feature extra-thick walls for optimal strength and structural integrity. This innovative design traps air, creating one of the most stable floating platforms. The rotomolding process ensures consistent wall thickness and superior durability, allowing our docks to withstand impact and extreme weather conditions without compromising their structural integrity.

Revolutionary Coupling System

Our unique connectors allow individual dock sections to move independently while maintaining structural firmness. This flexibility is crucial for withstanding changing water conditions and severe weather events. The couplers are made from recycled rubber, providing environmental benefits and superior performance. They act as shock absorbers, reducing stress on the dock structure and enhancing longevity.

Premium Materials

We use only the highest-quality, rust-resistant hardware to ensure longevity and durability in freshwater and saltwater environments. Our fasteners are made from marine-grade stainless steel or specially formulated plastics that resist corrosion even in the harshest conditions. This attention to detail extends the life of our docks and reduces our customers’ maintenance requirements.

Customizable Configurations

Dock-konfigurasjoner

The modular nature of our products allows for endless possibilities, from simple residential docks to expansive commercial marinas. Our design team works closely with clients to provide options for custom layouts that maximize space efficiency and functionality. Whether you need a single boat slip or many berths for a marina, the EZ Dock modular system can be configured to meet your exact specifications.

Unmatched Durability and Weather Resistance

When it comes to withstanding nature’s forces, EZ Dock stands apart. Our products have consistently demonstrated resilience in extreme weather conditions, including wildly fluctuating water levels, tropical storms, hurricanes and harsh winters.

This exceptional durability is by design. Our connection couplers allow dock sections to flex and separate as needed, while our flotation system enables the dock to “stick” to the water surface, moving with the flow rather than against it. As a result, EZ Dock systems have been proven to withstand most tropical storms and low- to mid-category hurricanes.

We regularly conduct rigorous testing to ensure our products meet and exceed industry standards for durability. Our in-depth tests include the following:

  • Weather testing
  • Load-bearing assessments 
  • Long-term exposure trials in various environmental conditions

These tests allow us to continually refine our designs and materials, ensuring that EZ Dock remains the most reliable choice for waterfront installations.

Environmental Stewardship

At EZ Dock, we recognize our responsibility to protect the waterways we love. Every aspect of our product design and manufacturing process reflects our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship. 

Eco-Friendly Materials

Our docks are made from recyclable polyethylene and recycled rubber, avoiding the use of harmful treated wood or foam-filled products. This choice of materials ensures our products’ longevity and minimizes their environmental impact at the end of their life cycle. We work closely with recycling facilities to ensure that our products can be properly processed and repurposed when they are eventually retired.

Minimal Environmental Impact

EZ Dock products do not release contaminants into the water, as determined by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure, preserving the health of aquatic ecosystems. Our manufacturing process adheres to strict environmental guidelines, minimizing waste and energy consumption. We regularly audit our supply chain to ensure all components meet our stringent environmental standards.

Light Penetration

Our dock designs allow for optimal light penetration, supporting underwater plant life and aquatic habitats. We’ve conducted extensive studies on the impact of our docks on aquatic environments, working with marine biologists to refine our designs for minimal ecological disruption. The unique configuration of our floating chambers allows sunlight to reach the water beneath the dock, promoting healthy plant growth and maintaining natural aquatic habitats.

Habitat Conservation

EZ Dock actively collaborates with conservation organizations, providing our expertise and products to support habitat restoration projects. Our docks have been used in various scientific studies, helping researchers monitor water quality, study wildlife behavior and assess the health of aquatic ecosystems.
