Permanent Piers

Praklet’s installs permanent piers for residential and commercial waterfronts. Its permanent systems use pilings driven into the lakebed, a steel frame and composite decking to create a structure that remains in place throughout the year.

Permanent Boat Lifts

Permanent ShoreStation boat lifts can be incorporated into permanent pier systems. These piling-supported hydraulic lifts eliminate the need for annual lift installation and removal and can be configured for different types of watercraft.

Seasonal Dock Installation & Removal

For removable dock systems, Praklet’s provides professional spring installation and seasonal removal, allowing waterfront owners to avoid handling large dock sections themselves.

Boat-Lift Installation & Removal

The company’s seasonal services also cover boat lifts, allowing customers to coordinate both dock and lift handling through one provider.

Dock & Boat-Lift Repair

Praklet’s repairs docks and boat lifts in addition to selling new equipment. This provides ongoing service for existing waterfront systems when repair is preferable to replacement.

Storm-Damage Recovery

Storm-damage and recovery services are available for waterfront equipment affected by severe weather or changing lake conditions.

Best For

Praklet’s Piers and Lifts is suited to Sister Lakes and Southwest Michigan waterfront owners looking for permanent or seasonal docks, boat lifts, recurring installation and removal, repairs or a complete dock-and-lift system from an established local provider.
