Aluminum Pile Brackets with UHMW Blocking

Heavy-Duty Aluminum Pile Brackets w/ UHMW Blocking Our Heavy-Duty External Pile Brackets are a two-piece build consisting of a ½” x 6” x 30” deck base plate with integrated stub tubes and the hoop. These brackets can be installed by either bolting or welding them to your dock and or gangway frame. For existing gangway installations you’ll want to specify a backing plate to match your frame.
