Launch Ramp Pier

For our launch ramp piers, Port-A-Pier uses the same structural design and floats as the floating piers. Port-A-Pier can utilize existing DNR concrete abutments, but has developed our own launch ramp-to-pier interfaces, allowing us to secure a pier to concrete, gravel, black top, or dirt launching surface. These existing DNR concrete abutments consist of shore mounts, where six 2" pipes are augered into the launch ramp's shoreline, or six widgets secure a launch ramp mount to the existing concrete launch ramp. Our floating DNR pier pins onto our mounting systems, making installation and removal an extremely rapid process. More importantly, our launch ramp-to-pier interfaces eliminate the feeling of "walking the tightrope" that so many other floating piers are known for.

Also, our ADA launch ramp piers come with galvanized wheelchair accessibility plates, and recycled plastic or treated wood tow boards. Our 30' launch ramp piers can fluctuate from varying water levels, up or down 18' and still be ADA compliant. Moreover, Port-A-Pier has developed an innovative slider stabilizer system that ensures a free floating pier while preventing uni-directional sway for piers longer than 36'.
