Without knowing the exact situation and location it is difficult to speculate. I used to have a 47 foot steel frame pipe dock that I paid someone $700 every year to remove and put back in place in the spring. It was in 4 very heavy sections.
One year in the fall, the dock people had stacked them at the waterfront in an area that I knew would be underwater in the spring. Despite repeated phone calls they were there for the winter.
In the spring I lifted them slightly with a crowbar and put large deflated truck tire tubes underneath them. It was easy to inflate the tubes and float the dock sections into place. One man job and I saved a lot of money.
