Picking the Right Dock Ladder

Picking the Right Dock Ladder

There are two types of people when it comes to going into the water off the dock for a swim: Those who prefer to jump right in, and those that prefer to ease in using a ladder. Boat Lift Warehouse offers a variety of ladders in different sizes, materials, and styles that can connect to either your Floating PWC docks or PWC lift. So which Boat Lift Warehouse ladder should you pick for your personal watercraft? In this guide, you’ll find some useful insights that will help you pick the perfect ladder for your needs.

Picking the Right Dock Ladder: Materials 

Whether your Floating PWC dock is on freshwater or saltwater, you will definitely want a ladder that is durable and water, and weather-resistant. Boat Lift Warehouse offers aluminum, polyethylene, and galvalume ladders. Aluminum ladders are the most common and affordable option. Polyethylene is tough and durable, and will not corrode with exposure, fade, or crack. Galvalume is durable and very attractive to the eye, made with white heavy 1-1/2″ tubing that always ensures a good grip.

Picking the Right Dock Ladder: Fixed vs. Swing/Flip-Up vs. Pivot

Fixed ladders are stationary, meaning once you have bolted the ladder down it stays in place in the water on the Floating PWC dock. Boat Lift Warehouse’s most popular options are the Aluminum Straight Ladder and the Blue Stationary Dock Ladder. 

Out of Water Ladder Options For Your Floating PWC Dock

If you do not want your ladder to stay in the water at all times there are other options available at Boat Lift Warehouse that either flip-up, swing, or pivot off of your Floating PWC dock. When not in use, these ladders can be lifted up and out of the way to save space. The flip-up option has been designed to make a minimum carbon footprint and flip up and out of the water when not in use. The swing option features heavy-duty hinges that swing up for safety and to keep clean, and stores easily in an upright position.
