Key features include:
- Marine-grade aluminum construction – strong, lightweight, and rust-free

Seamless Integration with Your Dock System
The Patriot Docks Gangway Kit is designed to work effortlessly with other components in your dock setup. It can be:
- Mounted to shoreline platforms using an additional hinge kit
- Hinged directly to floating or stationary docks
- Outfitted with Gangway Rollers to glide smoothly over floating dock surfaces
- Supported with additional floats under both the gangway and dock platforms to preserve buoyancy and offset added weight
This flexibility makes the gangway a smart addition to existing Patriot Docks systems or other compatible dock platforms along your shoreline. Whether you’re building a new layout or improving an existing one, the gangway adds safe access, stability, and adaptability in all water conditions.
