What Is Dock Lifeguard?
Dock Lifeguard is a real-time electrical detection system designed to identify dangerous stray voltage in and around docks, boat lifts, and waterfront structures. Unlike standard GFCIs that only protect equipment on land, Dock Lifeguard continuously monitors the water itself, detecting electrical current as low as 80 millivolts before anyone gets in. It uses sensors to monitor roughly a 40-foot radius around your dock. If unsafe current is detected, the system instantly triggers bright visual alerts and a 90+ dB audible alarm to warn everyone nearby. It can even be configured to automatically shut off power to the dock, eliminating the hazard at the source.
The Dock Lifeguard system offers:
- Continuous 24/7 monitoring for stray electrical current
- Immediate alarms if unsafe current is detected
- Compatibility with all waterfront structures, including private docks, boat lifts, boathouses, marinas, and swim platforms
- Weatherproof construction built to withstand harsh lake conditions and outdoor exposure year-round
As a certified Dock Lifeguard dealer and installer serving the Birmingham area, Shepherd Electric Company ensures your system is installed correctly, appropriately configured, and integrated seamlessly with your dock's existing electrical infrastructure. Our licensed electricians understand both the product and the unique electrical challenges of Alabama's lake environments.
