Can Roller Bunks be Used to Remove and Replace a Dock

Question:

I was think these type of rollers would also be good for pulling out a dock pre-winter and of course the opposite putting a dock back in the lake in spring. What say you? The rollers would be out all winter with the dock on them. I am assuming to use one roller pair for each 4x12 section of dock.

Customers have used rollers # DL21741 for projects like you are describing. I think it is a great idea. I do recommend using a set per 4x12 section of dock. The more rollers there are the easier it will be to move the dock. Also with more rollers more weight will be dispersed over a larger overall area.

The metal parts of the rollers are made of galvanized steel so they will stand up to corrosion just fine so being out in the elements will not be detrimental to them.
