Description

The Snap Dock 4′ Gangway Hinge (3‑Pocket) (SKU: GHINGE‑3P4‑ASSY) serves as a reliable connection component within Snap Dock’s modular gangway system. It links 4′ × 4′ gangway sections, which can extend up to 24′, to a Snap Dock floating dock. Because it works with both gangways and ramps, it provides flexibility for many different site layouts.

The hinge assembly uses three integrated female half couplers. These couplers form a secure joint between the gangway or ramp and the dock. In addition, the 3‑pocket design distributes weight and movement evenly, which helps maintain stability during changing water levels. The hinge uses corrosion‑resistant materials, so it holds up against weather and frequent use.

Installation is straightforward, and the process requires only common tools. As a result, crews can complete setup efficiently and adjust the hinge later if a layout changes. Moreover, the design allows repositioning or removal without replacing the entire system. This feature is helpful when a dock expands or when a ramp needs to be relocated.

The hinge functions well in residential settings where light foot traffic is common. It also performs in commercial marinas where structures support heavier use. Furthermore, it integrates seamlessly with Snap Dock’s broader modular system, which makes it easier to include accessories or modify configurations over time.

Since the kit includes (1) 4′ Gangway Hinge (3‑Pocket) and (3) female Half Couplers as the hardware for attaching it to the modular gangway or ramp, crews can assemble it without additional parts for that step. However, hardware for fastening the plate to the land‑based structure is not included. Therefore, installers can choose fasteners that best match the site surface, whether concrete, timber, or steel.

Overall, the Snap Dock 4′ Gangway Hinge (3‑Pocket) (SKU: GHINGE‑3P4‑ASSY) offers durability, adaptability, and straightforward installation for a variety of dock and gangway applications.
