Can you walk on them?
Yes! Quite comfortably. Not only can you walk on them you can drive a tank across them*. When properly installed, walking on a Jetfloat dock feels as secure as other floating docks. In fact, because of Jetfloat's unique modular design, the dock has an inherent flexibility and each step is individually absorbed. This actually creates the feeling of a rigid surface. Each individual unit has a load capacity of 220 pounds (100 kg)! That means an average 4 unit x 4 unit (6 1/2 x 6 1/2 feet or 2 metre x 2 metre) raft will hold up to 3520 pounds (1600 kg)!

What's inside them?
Air, but don't worry — they can't deflate! They are blow molded and made of a high density polyethylene (HDPE). This means that they are rigid structures with a wall thickness of 5/16" (8 mm) that don't have any seams. The material itself floats, which means the units will never sink. Not only that, the material will never break apart or leach into the water. Their unique design makes them incredibly buoyant, durable and impact resistant. That's why we are able to offer you a 10 year warranty with any purchase. In fact, their life span far exceeds 10 years, we estimate a 40 year lifespan and after 30 years in business our original installations are still in use today. |
