Why GatorBridge

Gator began as a small aluminum dock fabricator over 3 decades ago. Throughout our long history, we expanded our team and our line of products to include the highest performance aluminum structures to span land as well as water. GatorBridge has thousands of aluminum structures installed in the United States. Your GatorBridge will be computer modeled, analyzed, assembled by hand, and meticulously welded by expert craftsmen to create an exceptionally strong and durable solution for your specific needs. At every step during planning, drawing, approval, fabrication and delivery, you have an entire team of people working for you to ensure that your project comes in on time and under budget.

The GatorBridge line of products has been built to meet the following criteria:

High Performance
GatorBridge and parent company, Crane Materials International (CMI), have decades of experience in plastic, composites and aluminum, during which we have refined our product designs to achieve superior performance in harsh environments. GatorBridge products are built to perform beyond your expectations.

Cost Effective
Not only can we provide you with a cost effective solution upfront, but GatorBridge products will minimize your life cycle costs of repairs and replacement. Your future funds can be spent on additional projects instead of on yearly maintenance.

Long Lasting
With over 65 years experience as a manufacturer and innovator, you can trust in the proven durability and longevity built into your future bridge. Gator structures from coast to coast and in all climates have been in service almost 40 years without needing to be replaced.

Environmentally Friendly
Reducing waste starts in the design of our extruded shapes and continues through fabrication by recycling drop materials and fabricated items that do not pass our stringent quality controls. The light aluminum frames result in less fuel used during transportation and quicker installation in the field, reducing the carbon footprint of your installation. Finally, the aluminum used in GatorBridges has a neutral impact on the installed environment and has been approved for use in areas with strict environmental regulations.

Low Maintenance
GatorBridges are made with durable materials to reduce the cost of maintenance and repair. The joy of finishing your GatorBridge project is knowing that you will not have to spend lots of time or money maintaining it. There is no routine painting, sealing or staining required when you use our natural aluminum.
