The most common private use for a pontoon is as a private mooring on a lake or river. In these instances, generally the RotoDock system is your perfect solution. RotoDock units are quite large, providing more stability than the Modular Cube system, and with a sandblasted anti-slip surface, RotoDock comes into its own for these projects.

Cubes are great for rougher waters, where their flexibility allows the pontoon to ride with the waves, without compromising the structure.

RotoDock
RotoDock is a UV-stabilised high-density polyethylene (HDPE) floatation unit created through rotational moulding. This produces a virtually indestructible single shell which is resistant to oil and chemicals. The floats are filled with polyurethane or polystyrene beads which are steam injected to form a solid mass.

After considering your particular application, WMS can identify the most suitable mooring and fixing points for your RotoDock pontoon, including hinges, ramp fixings, anchor plates, service channels, cleats, rubbing strakes and more. RotoDock is best on calmer waters as, being larger single units, it doesn’t have the flexibility that Modular Cubes offer. It does, however, provide more stability.

RotoDock can also have galvanised steel mounting brackets attached in order to provide decking and customise the aesthetic.

We offer a number of decking options for RotoDock systems, including pressure-treated softwood, pressure-treated hardwood, fibreglass gratings, aluminium checker plate, Millboard synthetic decking, Dura synthetic decking plus other specialist coverings.

Modular Cubes

Modular Cube systems consist of HDPE Cubes that link together using connection pins. They are incredibly robust, durable and versatile, making them a great option for a private pontoon.

Cube pontoons can be used for both temporary and permanent installations and are able to withstand years of environmental wear and tear as well as extreme wave motion, making them ideal for exposed locations. HDPE systems don’t require any regular maintenance and don’t suffer from any environmental degradation or corrosion issues.

WMS can make pontoons in virtually any shape and size, and we can also add or remove Cubes if your requirements change in the future. As well as stocking a wide variety of accessories, including cleats, handrails, bathing ladders and mooring equipment, we can also manufacture any project-specific items you may require, ensuring we can complete your project to bespoke specifications.
