Dock Shock®
Product Description
With this device, the momentum of waves is absorbed in a spring to lessen the effects of these forces on the dock cables. For example, when your head hits concrete compared to when your head hits sand, just a little distance to change velocities makes a big difference.
Easy Installation.
The Dock Shock® cable-tensioning device is a quick connect device for suppressing shock to a residential floating dock due to waves (i.e. primarily from boat traffic). The device consists of a compression spring and two quick cable connection clamps, which can be connected directly to the existing cables, without disconnecting the dock from its anchors or winches.
About the Double-Fail-Safe design.
The Dock Shock® creates a redundant system to prevent the failure of the cable mooring connection.
1) This device uses a stainless-steel compression spring in a draw bar setup. Once the spring reaches its maximum compression, it can sustain much greater force before failure.
2) The slack in the cable will still act as a functioning cable completely connected in the case of device complete failure, as if the device were not there. The clamping mechanism is designed to connect this device to the existing cables without disconnecting the existing cables from the dock or the anchors.
Proudly designed and built in the USA to be a lifetime product.
This device is constructed of all stainless-steel components and is a freshwater marine rated device. It can be rated for marine saltwater use via material changes.
