Large boat dock
Our large boat dock is suitable for a boat with a total weight of up to 3,300 kg. The length of the boat dock varies according to what purpose it is used for and also based on the bank's terrain. When determining the length, it is important to consider whether it will only be used to remove the boat from the water or whether it will also be used as winter storage, when the boat needs to be pulled further away from the shore.
To make sure the boat dock can be operated properly, it must be ensured that the length is sufficient for deep enough water. Alutrack boat docks are designed to be operated in such a way that the carriage, on top of which the boat sits, reaches so far into the water that it is deep enough for the boat to float on the carriage before the winch is switched on. What this means is that the bigger the boat, the deeper the water needs to be. This needs to be taken into account when calculating the rail length.
Ease of use
The large dock is suitable in its basic form for a boat with a maximum total weight of 1600 kg. With additional accessories, the dock's load capacity can be increased to approximately 3000 kg. The large, durable boat dock is made of aluminum, which is lightweight, malleable, strong and resistant to corrosion.
Alutrack uses an aluminum alloy in its docks, which is called marine aluminum, so every boat dock we manufacture is also saltwater resistant.
An aluminum boat dock is very durable because when in contact with oxygen, aluminum produces an oxide layer on its surface, which protects it against moisture, salt, and other external factors. Both the underwater part of the boat dock and the part located on land therefore maintain their operational reliability in all conditions.
The length of the dock is determined by the intended use and the shore. When determining the length, it should be taken into account whether the dock is only used to remove the boat from the water or whether it is advisable to use the dock also for winter storage, in which case it is advisable to pull the boat further from the waterline.
The length of an aluminum boat dock does not affect its durability. The dock is always tailored to the customer's needs and with the right choices, a long-lasting and durable boat dock is obtained. The operating principle of the Alutrack boat dock is that the sled, on which the boat is driven, is lowered so far that the boat can float on the sled before the winch is started. Therefore, the larger the boat, the deeper the total length of the dock must be dimensioned for water.
Whether you are purchasing a saltwater-resistant boat dock or a freshwater dock, the docks we manufacture are long-lasting and are always manufactured to the customer's needs in the right length and size. The aluminum structure is both strong and lightweight, which makes it possible to install the dock yourself, even for large boats.

The boat dock is always delivered in parts and is assembled on your own shore. The dock comes with installation instructions, which make installing and commissioning the dock easy and hassle-free. Aluminum is light, e.g. a 20 m long dock with an electric winch weighs only about 130 kg in total. Even the heaviest individual part weighs clearly less than 20 kg.
Suitable for large boats
Our large boat docks are great for large boats. Lifting and lowering the boat is done effortlessly with an electric winch.
Customisable length
Our boat docks are composed of 5-metre modules. The length of the boat dock typically varies between 15 and 25 metres, depending on the depth of the water. The maximum length with a standard winch is 30 metres. By changing the winch, the maximum length can reach up to 50 metres. Where required, the 5-metre rails can also be combined with 2.35-metre rails, even though these are typically used for the light boat dock.

Protects against weather and wear
Thanks to the boat dock, the bottom of the boat is not constantly in the water, so it stays clean and in good condition for longer than usual. The bottom is easy to clean and the boat is sheltered from storms and water level fluctuations.
Domestic and environmentally friendly
Our boat docks are 100% made in Finland. Our winches are made in the USA and the winch remote control and the carriage wheels, for example, are made in Germany. The fasteners and axles, etc, that we use are made of acid-proof steel. We always select high-quality materials that last a long time, so that the boat dock can, so to speak, be passed from father to son.
