Innovation and sustainability

Strengthening its constant commitment to innovation and sustainability, Italian company Boat Lift continues to deliver machines with electric power, and to design width flexibility into its machines.

One of its most recent achievements is the Pelican Lift mobile dockside crane (right). This unique and patented design enables operators to perform lift and launch operations even when no dockside infrastructure is available. The positive response from operators confirms that the lift solves a widespread issue in the industry as marinas and shipyard activities are often limited by infrastructure building costs and permits. The front cantilever beam of the Pelican means it can reach out well beyond the dock edge, ensuring easy and safe lift and launch operations in conditions that do not allow the use of a travel lift.
Boat Lift has also expanded its electric option across its entire range. Zero-emission products are equipped with advanced control systems and high-efficiency lithium batteries, with the aim of making boat handling operations increasingly efficient and sustainable.
Since 2014, Boat Lift has also been on a mission to offer its boat hoists in adjustable width versions. Thanks to nearly a decade of continuous product refinement and technology development, the company’s expandable travel lifts are now sophisticated handling and lifting devices, offering a wide range of benefits for marinas, ports and shipyards.
The recent commissioning of a 300 tonne variable width travel lift for Nautor Swan (Badalona, Spain) represents the culmination of the refinement process featuring several advancements and leading to the manufacture of fully customised solutions. Due to the hydraulic expansion, the variable width lifts make the most of boat storage areas, reaching spaces inaccessible with standard machines and thus maximising the use of space.
Finally, in demonstration of its continuous effort to offer a customer-oriented approach, Boat Lift has recently launched a self-propelled trailer rental service. Customers who are seeking more flexibility and convenience when it comes to lifting and handling boats can rent a Boat Lift trailer, ensuring better shipyard equipment management without constraints and hidden costs.
