We’ll often deliver product on a
trailer. The images above show a
single Otter Island and a couple of
jet ski floats stacked on top of
each other. Sliding the product off
a stack isn’t difficult but it
usually takes a couple people. Our
drivers are generally retired men
who are excellent drivers but not
“muscle men”. They can help slide
product off the truck but do need
help. If you can’t arrange
 for
helpers we can sometimes send
another man but his wages as a
helper need to be paid. We usually
charge $15 per hour and the charge
is for the entire travel time, but
$50-$75 might be worth it to some
customers.
Getting the product to the water is
the owners responsibility. Otters
and Jet Ski floats weigh about 300
lbs. Pushing one across the lawn is
easy but if you’re going to carry
one, you’ll need a couple stout men.
We sometimes deliver to the local
launch site. People sometimes tow
them across the lake. We’re often
told that getting it to the water
was the most difficult part,
especially if you’ve got a hill or
sea wall. Generally speaking
installation is a fairly simple
project.

DELIVERY VIA COMMERCIAL
FREIGHT LINE |
|
|
Parts
shipped via commercial freight lines
will usually be delivered on a semi
trailer truck. When possible we
recommend shipping to a business
location but in most areas we can
ship to a residence or lake home. If
you have a location that a semi
cannot access, we’ll need to figure
something different. The freight
line will call before delivery to
set up a delivery “window”. You’’
need helpers to get the product off
the truck.
 Two
Jet Ski Floats, ready to go via
commercial truck delivery. This load
weighs about 600 lbs. When the truck
arrives you can cut the packaging
and slide them off one at a time but
they are still big 300 lb. hunks of
plastic. You’ll need a couple stout
men.
We appreciate our internet customers
but don’t want customers to be angry
or disappointed when the delivery
arrives. In many areas dock
installers will handle all the
details and often, charges for
delivery and
 installation
are included in the price. Not
always, so be sure to check. Some of
our customers have been upset
because they were surprised by the
size and weight of our products. We
have great products and great prices
but we don’t want anyone to be
surprised. Again if you will have
difficulty handling or installing
the product it might be wise to have
a marine industrial professional do
it.
This is a load of dock and jet ski
floats. A load like this should go
to a commercial address and should
have a fork lift to unload.
