VARIABLE WIDTH TRAVEL LIFT: THE GAME CHANGER IN MARINE INDUSTRY

Boat Lift celebrates 10 years since the first Boat Lift variable width travel lift was delivered

Maximizing spaces in the shipyard is an eternal challenge, especially since standard boat hoists with fixed width significantly limit flexibility in accommodating different vessel sizes and optimizing storage layouts.

However, since 2014 Boat Lift has been providing to marine industry boat hoists in the adjustable width version: during almost a decade of continuous product refinement and technology development, Boat Lift variable width travel lifts are today sophisticated handling and lifting devices, offering a wide range of benefits for marinas, ports, and shipyards.

Unparalleled versatility, optimal maneuverability and extreme efficiency are just some of the features of the innovative variable width boat hoist, turning out to be a revolutionary equipment for handling and lifting operations in the yard.

Thanks to the hydraulic expansion, Boat Lift variable width travel lifts allow to make the most of boat storage area, reaching spaces otherwise inaccessible with a standard machine and reducing thus the unused room among boats.

Moreover, the expansion system enables boat hauling and launching on piers with different widths and indoor operations as well, reducing the overall dimensions of the machine for easy access to sheds or enclosed spaces.

All variable width boat hoist movements are remotely managed through radio control, to guarantee maximum safety during handling, hauling and launching operations. It is possible to reduce or increase the track of the structure with loaded machine, ensuring operations at every stage of the expansion stroke.

The DSC “Dynamic Steering Control” supports the expansion process of the structure, for optimal maneuverability in any condition. A precise control of steering functionalities results in increased ease of use, number of maneuvers reduction and spaces optimization, as well as a more profitable management of boat storage spaces.

The recent commissioning of a 300ton variable width travel lift for Nautor Swan Global Service (Badalona, Spain) represents the culmination of a constant process featuring several advancements and leading to the manufacture of fully customized solutions, also available in electric version for green and zero noise operations.
