Our gangway kit is easy to add to your shoreline with intuitive DIY instructions, with 6 durable decking options to choose from. This great all-in-one kit is available in 4’, 8’ or 12’ lengths. Tommy Docks gangways can be used with either our stationary or Flexx floating docks.
A solid gangway is the key to a safe, secure dock. Tommy Docks dock ramps and gangways span the gap from the shoreline to your dock, providing a stable, slip-resistant surface that handles the slope and the shifting water level along your shore.

A Smooth Connection from Shore to Dock
Dock ramps and gangways have one very important job: to carry you safely between the shoreline and the dock. Tommy Docks dock ramps create a smooth transition with smart hardware. Our gangways connect with sturdy piano hinges, giving you clean connection options for any dock setup. Because the water level on most lakes shifts over the year, our hinged dock connection keeps the walking surface steady while a ramp roller or float takes up the movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tommy Docks offers modular aluminum gangway kits in a range of lengths including 4’, 8’ or 12’, so you can size the run to the distance between your shoreline and dock. Pick the length you need, and the kit arrives ready to put together.
No. Tommy Docks builds each frame from marine-grade aluminum for corrosion resistance that stands up to sun, rain, and constant water exposure. The aluminum framing gives the gangway its strength without the weight of steel, and it will not rust or rot. That same structural aluminum supports our Aluminum and Titan dock packages, so your gangway and dock system both hold up over the long term.
Every Tommy Docks gangway comes with your choice of decking, with a variety of choices to match your dock. Pick from six decking options: warm cedar, brown, gray, tan composite, thermoformed terrazzo, or low-maintenance Titan aluminum decking. We also offer replacement panels in every finish, so they are easy to swap out down the road.
A Tommy Docks gangway attaches to your boat dock with a hinged connection at the dock end and a roller or float at the shore end. The hinge keeps the walking surface level while the roller absorbs the rise and fall of the water, so the path onto your boat dock stays steady all season.
Each gangway is built for durability on a marine-grade aluminum frame rated to carry foot traffic, gear, and the occasional loaded hand cart without flexing. The aluminum frame gives you solid footing while keeping the whole unit light enough to lift and reposition when you pull your dock for the winter.
