FloatLift
Free-floating freedom
The original freefloating hydraulic boat lift.
Overview
FloatLift combines exceptional engineering with style and accessibility. Streamlined pontoons support the hull in shallow water with minimal depth requirements, and it ties simply to docks or mooring buoys.
The low profile splits waves rather than riding over them, and the foam-filled floats are unsinkable - they support the boat even on a soft seabed as the tide changes.
Features
Free-floating freedom
Ties to docks and mooring buoys in shallow water - no pilings and no fixed structure on the bottom.
Fast and powerful
Lift or lower in as little as 18-30 seconds by remote. The DC system charges from AC or solar. Stainless steel cylinders retract above the water when raised.
Quality construction
Foam-filled polyethylene pontoons with the patented GravityLock™ locking system. Marine-grade aluminum frame with stainless steel hardware, suitable for fresh and saltwater.
Shallow water access
Requires roughly 30 cm of water under the keel or skeg. The foam-filled floats support the boat on soft seabeds during tidal changes, and the low profile splits waves.
SwiftShield compatible
FloatLift is the only free-floating lift that works with the SwiftShield. HoverCover provides additional protection.
