Stationary (Fixed) Boat Lifts
- Strong, dependable, customized beams
- Doesn’t adjust to water level—requires manual tweaks
- Best for: permanent docks in calm harbors
Floating Boat Lifts
- Automatically adjust to rising/falling water
- Easier installation, fewer alignment issues
- Not suitable for heavy waves or strong currents
- Great for: lakes, rivers, regions with water fluctuation
Choosing the Right Lift
| Feature | Stationary Lift | Floating Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Water-Level Adaptation | Manual | Automatic |
| Strength | Heavy-duty | Lightweight |
| Installation | Permanent | Quick-temporary |
| Best Locations | Marine docks, calm harbors | Lakes, river canals |
Added Considerations
- Load Capacity: Choose lifts rated 1.2–1.5× your boat’s weight.
- Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum or stainless options fare best over time.
- Dock Type: Floating docks pair well with floating lifts; concrete docks favor fixed setups.
Keep It Safe
- Align lift beams correctly to prevent hull stress.
- Inspect lift straps/cables monthly.
- Clean underwater parts to prevent algae build-up.
