A floating, drive-on dock (27) for personal or commercial watercraft is assembled from a combination of hollow, air-tight floatation units (12). The dock includes a beam formed from a plurality of floatation units (29a-e) coupled together positioned underneath and attached to the dock (27) to provide transverse support and lift for the floatation units (12a) and thereby reduce bowing or flexion when substantial forces are exerted, such as by large size watercraft, on the dock surface. Additionally, at least one of the floatation units (29a-e) that form the beam, includes an aperture so that the buoyancy of that unit can be adjusted.

Ce dock flottant (27) à roulage direct destiné aux embarcations de plaisance ou commerciales est réalisé par assemblage de plusieurs types de caissons étanches (12). Ce dock comporte une rangée support faite de caissons assemblés (29a-29e) et disposée en dessous du dock (27) auquel elle est attachée de façon à constituer pour les caissons (12a) un support transversal immergé. Cela permet de réduire les effets de courbage ou de fléchissement lorsque s'exercent sur la surface du dock des forces importantes, telles que celles que produisent les embarcations de grandes dimensions. En outre, l'un au moins des caissons (29a-29e) formant la rangée support comporte un orifice de façon à pouvoir adapter la pesée du caisson.
