That is why professional dock builders around the world choose Ace dock floats.

Meat and produce at the grocery store are priced on a cost per pound times a certified, measured weight basis. You can be confident that you are getting what you pay for. When shopping for dock floats, you should expect the same because what you’re really paying for is buoyancy pounds. However, most published buoyancy ratings are calculated based solely on outside dimensions of the float shell. Calculated buoyancy ratings can be as much as 20% higher than the actual buoyancy delivered.

Here is one example: An Ace 36x48x12 float delivers a certified tank-tested buoyancy rating of 656 lbs. The published buoyancy for a competitive float of the same dimensions is 679 lbs, but it actually delivers only 542 lbs (based on an equivalent tank test). That’s 20.2% less than published rating and 17.4% less than Ace’s equivalent float. Why pay 20% more for a float and actually get 20% less buoyancy? If your dock design is based on calculated buoyancy ratings, you may need to buy 20% more flotation to achieve your design goal. You won’t know that until you float your dock sections.

Don’t be fooled! Always ask for tank-tested buoyancy ratings.
