Dock Gangways & Bridges
Make Way for a Safe Gangway. Mac’s Docks Designs & Installs Solid Dock Bridges & Ramps in Missouri, Iowa & Kansas for Easy Access to Your Dock
You Should Feel Safe When Walking to Your Dock or Across a Private Bridge. Mac’s Docks Can Make It Happen
Anyone with experience walking on a dock will know that using the walkway, also known as a gangway, to access the dock from the shore can be nerve-wracking. Unsecured or loose gangways can create a wobbly walk from point A to point B, and that’s never fun for anyone. Those who require extra assistance moving from the shore to the dock are especially vulnerable to a poor dock bridge design. While a gangway connected to a floating dock will always have a little movement, Mac’s Docks can create a more secure passage with our engineered dock bridges and gangways. Get your smooth walkway between solid ground and your dock with Mac’s.

Not every situation allows for a dock to be constructed directly at the water's edge. There may be various reasons for this, such as a gradual shoreline that doesn't offer a significant drop-off for conventional shore-side dock building. Alternatively, you might have a larger boat requiring deeper water for launching, or you could be contending with a lake known for fluctuating water levels, necessitating a dock placement further from the shore to prevent damage during low-water periods. Whatever the reason, if you need to build your dock away from the shore, Mac’s Docks has the perfect solution: our specially crafted gangways.
Our gangways are custom-built to bridge the gap between your dock and the shore. They can be tailored to your specific needs, providing the width required for ADA accommodations, while incorporating secure railings to prevent any unfortunate falls over the side. Recognizing that gangways are exposed to the elements, we include slip-resistant decking to ensure sure-footed passage even in rainy or snowy conditions. We've also taken measures to minimize sway, making it easier for you and your guests to cross comfortably. These built-in safety features and protections are what set Mac’s Docks apart as the premier dock builder in Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas.
Just like our docks, our gangways are built to endure. The durable decking stands up to harsh weather conditions like hail and strong winds, while the sturdy frame minimizes excessive movement or bouncing. Your journey from shore to dock and back again is made not only safe but also reliable when you choose Mac’s Docks to install a new dock gangway on your Midwestern dock.

Owning a spacious lakefront property often comes with the challenge of dealing with soggy, waterlogged conditions near the shoreline. You might also contend with a creek or stream that flows into the lake, hindering easy access to other parts of your property. If you're looking for a convenient solution to navigate your expansive lakefront property, look no further than Mac’s Docks. We specialize in installing cost-effective yet robust bridges that open up new possibilities for you.
Our approach to bridge construction is entirely tailored to your specific needs. A Mac’s Docks bridge can be designed to accommodate various options, whether you require a wide bridge for bicycles or small utility vehicles or a narrower one intended solely for foot and wheelchair traffic.

The custom decking we offer provides reliable traction, minimizing the risk of slipping even in wet conditions.
