Dock Installation Wheels Move Docks Over Rough Terrain

Posted on by

Dock installation wheels can help you move your dock easily over any terrain. Depending on where you live and where you enjoy water sports, you may need to think about placing your boat dock on land during the winter months. Some ponds and lakes freeze solid during the winter, and this can take a toll on your dock. Moving your dock into storage for the winter can extend its usability by preventing weather damage.

But how can you move something as big and bulky as a dock, especially over the rough shoreline found on so many lakes? That’s where dock installation wheels come in handy. These sturdy wheels, constructed from virgin low density polyethylene can carry up to 750 pounds of weight each. The 8” wide wheel can cross almost any terrain with ease.

Each dock wheel kit includes a set of wheels, plus spacer bearing sleeves to reduce the center hole down from the standard 1.900” I.D. for 1-1/2” pipe to except a 1-1/4” pipe axle ( 1-5/8” I.D. ). A dock wheel mounting kit is sold separately. Boat dock accessories like wheel mounting kits and dock lift wheels are available from Ve-Ve Inc. in a variety of sizes for all your marine needs.

Like all of our products, the dock installation wheels we stock are made in the U.S.A. Your purchase supports an American manufacturing business while giving you a useful product that last for many years. We think you’ll be very happy with your dock wheels. Please see our dock lift wheels and accessories online.

Personal Watercraft Roller Ramps Save Time and Effort

Posted on by

PWC roller ramps, or personal watercraft roller ramps, make it much easier for you to dock & store your personal watercraft on land and launch into the water when you’re ready for fun. These roller ramps are especially designed for 1 to 3-seater personal watercraft or jet skis. Because some of the larger 3-seater PWC are cumbersome and heavy, a PWC roller ramp makes for a more affordable docking system then a lift.

Ve-Ve Inc. carries two sizes of personal watercraft roller ramps so you can find one that suits your needs. The 17 foot ramp and the 10-1/2 foot ramp are both made out of aluminum, from the side & roller tubes to the sturdy cross tube weldments. The fasteners and steel assembly parts are made from galvanized or stainless steel, which holds up well to both fresh and salt water use and resists corrosion. Whether you are storing your personal watercraft on the shoreline of a lake, river or ocean – our PWC roller ramps are great for all locations!

Ramps are complete with everything needed to dock and launch your PWC, but many options are available from extra sections for added length to guide-ons to align your PWC in ruff conditions.

For details, please visit our 17 foot PWC roller ramp page or the 10-1/2 foot personal roller ramp page.

Durable Roll in Docks for Your Marine Needs

Posted on by


Finding a durable aluminum roll in dock that’s both easy to ship from the manufacturer and strong enough to withstand season after season of use just got a little easier. Ve-Ve Inc. sells several durable roll in docks that will make your time on the water so much more enjoyable.

One of our most popular aluminum roll in docks is the 4 foot wide by 32 feet long roll in dock. This dock has an optional cedar decking, but is most commonly sold and priced without a deck. For the do-it-yourselfer, you not only save on making your own decking pallets, you save on shipping, too. VE-VE Inc. supplies a blueprint for the 4’ x 4’ deck pallets. The dock frame is constructed of 8 foot truss frame sides with 4 foot cross member weldments bolted together with ½” bolts. This makes it an exceptionally strong dock that’s also easy and much cheaper to ship.

The scissor action undercarriage is adjustable, so you can adjust the height up or down to suit your needs. You can also add dock sections easily, extending the length. All of the metal undercarriage parts are zinc plated to help resist corrosion, again adding to the durability of your investment.

At Ve-Ve Inc., we have decades of experience manufacturing marine parts and accessories, including roll in docks. We know what it takes to make a great product for our customers. Learn more about our roll in docks today.

Choosing the Best Floating Dock Hardware for Your Needs

Posted on by

Choosing the “best” of anything is often in the eyes of the beholder, but when you’re a marine sports enthusiast, choosing the best floating dock hardware is more than just selecting what appeals to you. It’s really about selecting the highest quality floating dock hardware at an affordable price so that your dock lasts a long time.

Floating dock hardware includes some of the following items:

  • Backing plates
  • Inside corner supports
  • Outside angle ties
  • Washer bars
  • Straight brackets
  • More

The full selection of floating dock hardware available from Ve-Ve Inc. maybe found on our dock hardware page.

Now back to our original question of “what is the best floating dock hardware.” Ve-Ve Inc. offers a range of floating dock hardware so that you have many sizes to choose from to fit your dock. The D3-400 series is our standard-duty fresh and saltwater dock hardware for small to big residential docks. This series is also made from galvanized metal, and is of a heavier, sturdier composition than others on the market. Galvanized metal resists corrosion, especially in salt water.

Whether you make your floating dock yourself or hire someone to make it for you, you’ve invested considerable time, money and effort into building your dock. Make sure you build quality right into the dock from the start by using American-made, galvanized steel floating dock hardware from Ve-Ve Inc.

Boat Trailer Accessories: Keel Rollers

Posted on by

Let’s take a minute to look at one accessory from among the many types of boat trailer accessories available: keel rollers. A keel roller helps keep the keel centered so that when you activate the winch, the boat slides smoothly and evenly onto (or off of) the trailer. Among the many boat trailer accessories you can buy, a winch and keel roller combination can help you easily move your watercraft on and off of your trailer.

Keeping Watercraft Straight and Level

Are you having trouble keeping your watercraft straight as you move it onto the trailer? A keel roller can help, but there are a few other things to check as well.

  • Check the rear bunks and rollers. Misalignment can cause a boat to be off-centered on the trailer.
  • Practice! It sounds silly, but half the battle when loading boats is practice. Find a day when the dock is quiet, and when you have time to practice loading and unloading. Like any skills, practice makes perfect.
  • Backing your trailer into the water is also an acquired skill. Many people back in either too far or not enough. You’ll need to gauge the right amount of space based on your boat and the water depth. Again, practice makes perfect.

Floating Dock Hardware and Post Dock Hardware

Posted on by

You probably don’t give your floating dock hardware or post dock hardware much thought until something breaks. When it does break, however, and you need to make a quick fix, it can be frustrating to have to wait for parts to arrive. While we at Ve-Ve Inc. do a great job shipping items out quickly and all orders ship within 1 to 3 days, waiting for dock hardware can be frustrating. Here’s a simple solution: have spare parts on hand!

For those of you with summer homes, you know that at some point you’re going to have to make dock repairs, right? Why not order an extra kit of floating dock hardware or post dock hardware and keep it in storage until you need it? You don’t have to order every possible piece of hardware – just what you know gets the most wear and tear.

Dock hardware includes pipe mounting brackets, section connectors, pipes, and even accessories like bumper kits, although bumpers aren’t technically hardware. When you order floating dock hardware or post dock hardware, why not order two so you have a spare “just in case”? This way, you won’t have to worry about finding replacement parts on a Sunday morning just when you want to enjoy time on your dock or on the water.

Dock Accessories: Choosing a Bumper Mount

Posted on by

When you’re considering dock accessories, be sure to add bumper mounts to your list of what to add to your dock. They keep watercraft from bouncing into the dock and damaging the hull, the dock, or both. Bumper mounts aren’t expensive, and there are many styles to choose from so that you can add just the right size, style and shape to your dock.

Bumper Mounts and Dock Accessories

One of the most economical bumper mounts is an adjustable bumper bracket. Just add your own wood, a piece of scrap carpet, and hardware from our selection of boat dock hardware to affix the bumper mount to your dock. The Ve-Ve Inc. D-540 or D-545 adjustable bumper bracket features welded 1/2 inch nut for extra durability for the adjustment bolt and a painted gray finish so that it blends with the rest of your dock accessories.

If you want a bumper mount that slips right over your dock posts, look to the D-548, D-546 or D-541 bumper mount for dock accessories that are easy to add. These bumper mounts slip right over existing 2”, 1-1/2” or 1-1/4 inch dock posts. Just add a carpeted block of wood in either 2” x 4” or 2” x 6” size and you’re good to go. You can also use flat or grooved pre-formed dock cushions. The zinc plated finish on the brackets make it perfect for freshwater use.

Like all dock accessories, it’s important to measure your dock accurately, especially posts for slip-on bumper mounts like the D-548, D-546 & D-541. If you aren’t sure which size you need, contact Ve-Ve Inc. With decades of experience manufacturing dock accessories and helping boating enthusiasts choose the correct items for their needs, we can help you find the right parts, accessories and more so that you can enjoy your hobby or sport.

The Benefits of Using Transom Savers

Posted on by

Transom Saver installedTransom savers protect your boat against shocks and vibrations during transit. A heavy boat engine mounted on the transom is fine in the water, but on a boat trailer cruising down the highway at 60 miles per hour, can vibrate and cause damage to the transom. Although some motors can be locked in place, there is still some risk that the vibrations from typical highway and road driving will damage your boats transom. And who wants that?


Although you can set outboard motors in the up position during transit and lock them into place, this may not be enough to protect the transom during trips over rough terrain. The road leading to your favorite lake or pond may be rutted and rough, which further increases the vibration, stress and strain on the transom, even when motors are locked in the ‘up’ position.

Transom Savers from Ve-Ve Inc.

Ve-Ve Inc. offers several Made in the U.S.A. transom savers. Our transom savers are quality American-made steel, and they hold up much better to typical wear and tear than foreign made transom savers. We offer:

  • Frame-mount transom savers ( Straight or Formed models )
  • Roller-mount transom savers ( Straight or Formed models )

Both types of transom savers are available in a range of sizes to fit any boat & trailer combination.

If you need help choosing a transom saver, we have information on our site to assist you.

You want your boat to last a long time. Protect the transom with one of our fine American-made transom savers.

Boat Dock Hardware to Build or Improve Docks

Posted on by

Boat dock hardware is different from general home use hardware purchased at your local store. Boat dock hardware is specially constructed to withstand the rigors of fresh or saltwater. Saltwater is especially corrosive to metal, and dock hardware intended for use in saltwater should be galvanized to withstand the impact of constant exposure to saltwater.

Boat dock hardware that you may need when constructing a new dock or repairing an existing dock includes:

  • Stationary Post Dock Brackets or Floating Dock Brackets
  • Galvanized bolts, nuts & washers
  • Dock pipes and dock pipe pullers
  • Pipe driving cap
  • Dock wheel mounting kit for movable docks
  • Dock leveling kit

Ve-Ve Inc. manufactures only the best quality boat dock hardware right here in the United States. This fine quality industrial painted or galvanized steel hardware is made to last.
