Taylor Made StepSafe™ Dock Steps: Safety Where It Matters Most

Getting on and off a boat sounds simple enough — until you factor in a slippery dock, arms full of gear, or guests who aren't seasoned boaters. That's exactly the problem Taylor Made set out to solve with their purpose-built line of dock steps. With over a century of marine innovation behind them, Taylor Made brings the same engineering discipline to dock steps that they apply across their entire product catalog: thoughtful design, durable materials, and features that genuinely make life on the water safer.

The StepSafe™ Line: Built for the Marine Environment

Taylor Made's dock step lineup centers on their StepSafe™ series, which is available in single, double, and triple tread configurations to accommodate docks of varying heights. These steps are molded in durable UV-resistant polyethylene and can hold a maximum weight of up to 300 lbs. That combination of material toughness and structural capacity means they hold up reliably whether they're sitting in direct sun at a Florida marina or enduring the seasonal freeze-thaw cycles of a northern lake.

What truly sets the StepSafe™ apart is the traction system. Each step features a patented non-slip pad that maintains a secure grip in both wet and dry conditions — a critical detail on a dock, where moisture is a constant. The StepSafe™ non-slip pad is adhered to the top of each step for additional slip protection while boarding, and a 1-1/2" wide flange provides adequate mounting surface for docks.

Flexible Installation for Any Dock Setup

One of the more practical aspects of the StepSafe™ design is how it handles installation. The steps can be screwed down to the dock through the mounting holes on the base flange, or kept lightweight for easy movement in yards or marinas where a permanent solution is not available. This makes them equally at home as a fixed dock fixture or a portable boarding aid that travels with you.

Additional handrails are available for two- and three-step models, sold separately. These optional aluminum rails add a meaningful layer of security for children, older boaters, or anyone stepping aboard under challenging conditions. An open-back design on some models also provides a clever storage area for hard-heeled shoes before boarding.
