The ShoreMaster Pivoting Dock Ladder combines looped handrails, wide tread surfaces and a vertical pivoting action in a compact dock-mounted design. Lower the ladder and secure the snap pins while it is in use, then remove the pins and rotate the ladder up when swimming is finished. Keeping the ladder out of the water can help limit algae and marine growth on the treads while preserving open water alongside the dock.
Built for Convenient Swimming Access
Three Step Counts
Select 3, 4 or 5 steps based on the dock height, normal water level and the amount of ladder reach desired below the surface.
Pivots Out of the Water
The ladder rotates upward for storage and locks into position, helping keep the treads cleaner between swims.
Confident Grip and Footing
Looped handrails extend above the deck and the aluminum tread surfaces provide a defined place for each step.
Multiple Dock-System Options
Use system-specific InfinityTrack brackets, a PolyDock Ladder Connector or approved RhinoDock connectors depending on the dock.
Available Ladder Sizes

Secure the Ladder Before Every Use
The official instructions require both snap pins to be installed while the ladder is in the lowered, usable position. Check the pivot hardware, brackets and pins before entering or exiting the water.
Choose a location with adequate water depth, clear underwater space and minimal interference from boats. A dock ladder is not a diving platform.
QuickConnect or Bolt-On?
Choose this Pivoting Dock Ladder when you are pairing the ladder with ShoreMaster InfinityTrack brackets, the PolyDock Ladder Connector or compatible RhinoDock connectors.
Choose the Bolt-On Pivoting Dock Ladder when the ladder will attach directly to a structurally suitable dock without accessory-system brackets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many steps should I choose?
Measure the distance from the dock deck to the normal water level and consider how many treads should remain below the surface. A 4- or 5-step ladder is often more comfortable where water levels fluctuate, but the correct choice depends on the site.
Are the dock brackets included?
No. The ladder assembly is sold separately from the dock-specific connectors. A ShoreMaster Infinity installation needs two matching InfinityTrack brackets.
How does the ladder stay down while someone is using it?
Two snap pins secure the ladder in the lowered position. Install both pins before use and inspect them regularly for wear or damage.
Can this ladder attach to PolyDock?
Yes. Pair it with one PolyDock Ladder Connector, part 1006674. The connector kit is sold separately and is designed specifically for this QuickConnect-style ladder.
Does the ladder have to stay in the water?
No. Remove the snap pins and pivot the ladder upward when it is not in use. Keeping it out of the water helps reduce buildup on the treads and clears the waterline beside the dock.
Not Sure Which Ladder or Brackets You Need?
Call with the dock brand and model, deck-to-water measurement and a photo of the mounting location. We can help distinguish the QuickConnect, PolyDock and direct bolt-on options.
