Travel Lift

Andy | Monday, March 21, 2016 | Best Blogger Tips

Mobile Boat Hoist uses straps that go under a vessels hull. Using these straps as a sling, the entire weight of the vessel is supported easily. Hydraulic hoists can raise and lower the vessel. The Mobile Boat Hoist is supported by four wheels that allow the lift to move and steer under it's own power. This allows the Travel Lift to pick up vessels and move them from one place to another. It has been dormant all winter but with spring weather arriving it will soon be returning boats from winter storage back into the water.

  2. Nice one Andy. Good perspective through that boat lift with a wide-angle I presume. Also those rusty rails against the blues and grey are very impressive.

  5. I have never seen a mobile lift before. When I was in Oregon, I saw a stationary one at work.

  11. And do they have no crossbar at one end so they can pick up sailboats with the mast still in place?

  12. I've seen one of these slowly working. It's very interesting and an efficient way to move big boats around.
