A roller assembly for a floating dock, wherein the roller assembly is adapted to roll along a piling as the dock moves in a generally vertical direction, and dampen movement of the floating dock relative to the piling when the dock moves in a generally horizontal direction. The roller assembly includes a connecting bracket attachable to the dock and a wheel rotatably coupled to the connecting bracket. The wheel is compressible against the piling in response to horizontal movement of the dock relative to the piling, wherein the compression of the wheel dampens such horizontal movement to stabilize the dock, and dampen impact loads.
