Marine boat hoist, also known as a yacht travel lift or mobile boat hoist, is a specialized lifting equipment designed for launching, lifting, transporting, and maintaining boats and yachts. It provides an efficient solution for moving vessels between land and water, widely used in shipyards, yacht marinas, boat repair facilities, and marine service centers.
The marine boat hoist adopts a U-shaped gantry structure consisting of a main frame, traveling wheel system, lifting mechanism, steering system, hydraulic transmission system, and electrical control system. Unlike fixed lifting equipment, it operates directly on the ground, offering excellent mobility and flexible deployment for different working environments.
Using high-strength and soft lifting slings, the boat hoist can safely lift yachts and boats without damaging the hull surface or external coating. The lifting capacity can be customized from 10 tons to 500 tons, meeting the handling requirements of different vessel sizes.
Equipped with PLC control and frequency conversion technology, the marine travel lift provides precise control of lifting, traveling, and steering operations. It supports multiple movement modes, including straight-line travel, diagonal movement, lateral movement, and 360° in-place rotation, allowing efficient operation in complex marina and shipyard layouts.
Shipyards
Used for lifting newly built yachts and boats into the water for testing, commissioning, and delivery.
Boat Repair and Maintenance Facilities
Provides lifting support for vessel maintenance, including engine replacement, generator installation, mast handling, and other repair operations.
Fishery and Aquaculture Industry
Used for lifting fishing vessels, maintaining boats, and installing or repairing aquaculture equipment.
Yacht Storage Facilities
Suitable for moving yachts into or out of multi-level storage systems and optimizing land storage utilization.
Yacht Marinas
Used for transferring yachts between trailers, storage areas, and water, improving marina service efficiency.
Marine Rescue Operations
Assists in recovering damaged vessels after storms, floods, and other marine emergencies.
Offshore Oil & Gas Projects
Used for offshore platform construction, equipment maintenance, and lifting of marine supplies and components.
High Safety Performance
Equipped with comprehensive safety protection systems, including overload protection, multiple braking systems, travel limit switches, wind speed monitoring, and emergency stop functions to ensure reliable operation.
Easy Installation and Flexible Mobility
The mobile marine boat hoist travels directly on the ground without requiring overhead rails or fixed foundations, allowing flexible installation and relocation.
Wide Adaptability
Provides similar material handling capabilities to overhead cranes while offering greater flexibility for outdoor marine environments.
Stable and Precise Operation
The advanced hydraulic drive system, micro-speed control, and stepless speed regulation ensure smooth lifting and accurate positioning of vessels.
Hull Protection Design
Specially designed soft slings, protective pads, and covering systems effectively protect the hull surface, paint, and external structures during lifting.
Corrosion-Resistant Structure
Manufactured with corrosion-resistant materials and protective processes, allowing reliable operation in humid marine environments.
High Load Capacity
Customized lifting capacities from several tons to hundreds of tons are available to meet different boat and yacht handling requirements.
