Chain Attachment

» In many instances, you may already have a fixed dock with
pilings that you can attach to.

>» You can use chain to attach the VersaDock to those pilings
Typical chain is 1/4-5/16 inch galvanized

» VersaDock only supports chain attachments through an eye-
bolt. Attaching a chain directly through the tabs on the floats
can damage the floats over time due to excessive movement
in rough water.

» When using a chain attachment, make sure you have the dock
secured using opposing forces. You want to minimize forward
the reverse movement of the dock for the safest driveon

 

» Consult your VersaDock dealer or VersaDock if you are un-
sure about any part of this attachment.

Chain with PVC pieces attached via an eyebolt. Chain kits
purchased through VersaDock includes PVC rollers.

» To help minimize the wear of both the piling and the chain, we suggest you
use PVC “rollers”. To make the “rollers” take a piece of PVC pipe (usually 1”
to1-1/4”" diameter to fit around chain) and cut it in several small pieces about
1-2" wide. Feed the chain through the pipe pieces and place that around the
piling and attach it through the float tabs. Using the PVC will help stop the
chain from binding on the piling. Shown above

> Every few years you will want to remove the chain and put new PVC “rollers”
on

» Check the shackles, eyebolt and chain to ensure a solid attachment regu-
larly.

 

Anchorage for chain can be used for a
variety of tiedown mechanisms
