This is the new self-leveling stairway we build.
It can allow access from any seawall to any floating dock. Not only EZ Docks. Call 1-888-414-4425 now for pricing and availability.
This is available in any length. Pricing is approximately $150 per step, and the steps are 1' apart.
All fasteners are made of stainless steel. The roller on the bottom is made of polymer and stainless steel parts.
The connection to the shore/seawall is bolted in most cases. It is also possible to weld, since the connection to the wall is made of regular mild steel.
It keeps the stair treads level as the water level changes. This allows a steeper slope (from the shore to the dock) than a ramp.
How to choose and price
Normally, retail, we were pricing the steps for $150 Canadian dollars per step. The top and bottom steps are different because the top one has an attachment bracket for the seawall, and the bottom step has a roller on it.
The customers are impressed with how the steps look. They are used to the narrow, wobbly ones.
We have a 1' space between every step.
For a more comfortable stairway that is more like an architectural one, use a 45° angle. So if you have a 6' transition, add 40% and it will tell you the length. 6' x 1.4 = 8.4' We can round this down to 8' (or 9 steps). This angle costs extra, but it is much more comfortable to climb: It is less like a step ladder, and more like a household staircase.
