Innovative Boat Lifts and Docks

Waterfront homes are often prized because of the opportunity to launch boats and watercraft directly from a private backyard. However, some shores may be rough or uneven. Certain waterfront terrains are not suitable for launching boats. Similarly, there are parks that also pose some challenges in bringing watercraft in and out of bodies of water such as lakes, rivers and ponds.

With boat lifts, launching watercraft is made easy from any type of terrain. For example, some shores may have steep drops of several feet. Certainly, it does not make sense to simply vertically drop a small boat into the water and risk damaging the hull and other components. A boat lift is designed to offer a smooth and safe way of moving watercraft into and out water from elevations.

Stainless steel cables are used to secure boats to the hooks that are connected to boat lifts. Vertical screw drive boat lifts have components that precisely lower and lift watercraft. Heavy duty marine batteries provide the necessary power to deliver direct current to a small motor that's attached to the boat lift. Aluminum makes up the frame of a boat lift that is designed to stand in place while handling heavy loads of thousands of pounds. FLOEIntl.com and other sites are examples of suppliers of boat lifts and other marine structures.
Innovative modular docks are also available for installation on waterfront properties. Sectional metallic docks with wheels can be easily assembled, disassembled and transported in order to conveniently launch watercraft.
