The Patented Maxgate Landing System is designed for landing craft operations in challenging coastal environments. It provides active stabilization and vessel positioning through a high-pressure hydraulic spike system.

​

Hydraulic Anchoring:
  Maxgate spikes anchor the vessel to the shore, providing a stable platform for loading and unloading in high winds, heavy surge, or shifting tidal conditions.

​

Active Tide Management:
  The articulating spikes allow the operator to push or pull the boat along the beach as the tide moves. This prevents the vessel from being stranded during an ebb tide. An optional wireless remote allows for operation from several hundred feet away.

​

Propeller and Engine Protection:
  When carrying heavy deck loads on a receding tide, the Maxgate can maneuver the vessel back into deeper water. This prevents grounding and avoids costly damage to propellers and engine cooling systems.

​

Dry-Out Stabilization:
  If the vessel needs to go dry, the Maxgate spikes act as hydraulic outriggers. This prevents the boat from keeling over, keeping it level and stable until the next tide.

​

Precision Dock Loading:
  The system allows the operator to land the bow door onto a dock or pier using the spikes and rubber bumpers to create a “dock saddle.” This enables loading in tight spaces—using only the width of the door—without needing to lift cargo over the gunwales.

​

Heavy Load Support:
  Powered by high-capacity hydraulics, the Maxgate system provides the structural strength and stability required to transition heavy equipment and cargo from the shore to the deck safely.
