Charlotte Harbor upgrades with new Travelift

Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage in Port Charlotte, Florida has upgraded its boat handling operation with the delivery of a new Marine Travelift 35 BFMII (77,000lb/35,000kg capacity) boat hoist. The new machine replaces an older 35 ton unit, and offers the latest technology and innovations to best serve customers.

Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage is a family owned and operated storage yard which has been in business since 2000. The facility is a perfect hurricane hole for cruising vessels as it is located behind a self-operating lock, and the new boat hoist will offer customers added speed and efficiency when preparing for incoming storms.
“We target boat owners who want a safe and secure place to store their boats for hurricane season,” said Brady Pocklington, partner owner at Charlotte Harbor. “An added benefit to the yard is also allowing do-it-yourself access for boat owners,” he continued.
The Pocklington family bought the first Marine Travelift hoist two years after starting in the storage business. Although in operation at the yard for 22 years, the hoist was still in very good operating condition, but with the market offering top dollar for used equipment Pocklington said “we felt it was beneficial to secure the next 22 plus years for our business.”
The new hoist comes with all the latest Marine Travelift features and Charlotte Harbor added two speed hoist and wireless remote control for safe and efficient operation. Marine Travelift also provided a Cummins engine as Charlotte Harbor has a good relationship with the local Cummins dealer.
The sale of the machine was handled by WE Johnson Equipment Co, the certified Marine Travelift dealer for all of Florida and Georgia. WE Johnson set up the hoist and aided in the sale of the used unit. “Installation went smoothly because of the knowledgeable and experienced WE Johnson technician,” Pocklington confirmed.
