Advantages & Key Features of Boat Lift Hoist Crane
-
Special Design for Yachts
Made for different kinds of yachts. Perfect for lifting jobs in yacht clubs, water parks, and navy ports. -
High Safety and Reliability
Built with strong materials and safety parts to handle yachts securely. -
Easy to Move and Control
It can move in different ways: straight, sideways, turning 90°, or rotating on the spot. This helps place boats accurately. Strong and Efficient Performance
Uses a diesel engine and hydraulic drive for steady power.
-
Lifts full load at 0-2 m/min; moves at 0-30 m/min (with load) or 0-40 m/min (without load).
Works on Different Grounds
Can drive on concrete, gravel, and rough surfaces. Can climb slopes up to 4%.
-
The hinged beams avoid stress from uneven ground.
Wide Lifting Capacity
Can lift from 10t to 1200t, good for small to very large yachts.
-
Uses multiple lifting points for better balance and sync.
Easy to Use
Includes wireless remote control for safe and easy operation.
-
The main girder width can be adjusted to match different boat sizes.
Saves Money and Easy to Maintain
Low daily cost.
-
Simple to use and maintain, with long-lasting parts.
-
Protects the Yacht
Soft and strong lifting belts keep the boat safe during hoisting. -
Smart Control System
Uses PLC and frequency adjustment for smooth and precise control. Maximum load capacity is 120% of the rated load. This means it is very safe as long as the yacht’s weight is within the limit. If the weight is over the limit, the hoist will not lift. This prevents accidents even if the weight is misestimated.
Each lifting point can be controlled independently. The hoist is designed to match the yacht’s shape. The lifting points are marked on the hull for easy operation. Each point can be adjusted separately to control the belt distance and keep the yacht level.
The lifting method is soft and supportive—like holding the yacht from below. There is no squeezing, unlike with single-arm cranes.
For large yachts over 300 tons, this type of hoist crane not only meets lifting needs but also leads the industry in lifting accuracy, safety, and smart control. As China’s yacht industry continues to grow, along with demand for marine economy and high-end equipment, we will keep improving technology and provide better yacht handling solutions to support high-quality development in heavy industry.
Many people wonder: how do you maintain a large yacht like this?
Annual yacht maintenance includes engine care (for propulsion, generators, air conditioning, etc.) and hull maintenance. For hull work, the yacht must be taken out of the water. This leads to the question: where and how should it be lifted?
Mobile boat hoists (also called yacht cranes or gantry cranes) are widely used because they are safe, convenient, and efficient. In other countries, mobile boat hoists are the most common method. In China, this technology was introduced later, so single-point lifting was used in the past. But today, 99% of yacht marines worldwide use mobile hoists for lifting yachts in and out of the water. Unless there are special limitations, mobile boat hoists are usually the first choice.
The boat hoist first appeared in the 1970s. Soon after, it became popular in marines around the world. It is a reliable helper for dock services. It has been used globally for nearly 40 years and is now a mature and stable solution. It is the preferred method for medium and large yachts.
Key design features of yacht hoists:
Tire-type yacht hoists:
Their structure is similar to rubber-tired gantry cranes. The wheels can turn, and the hoist stands on both sides of the lifting pool. The gantry and beam are designed in a “π” shape instead of a regular “口” shape to handle special yacht types (like tall sailboats). The lifting system usually uses four adjustable soft slings to fit yachts of different lengths.
The tire-type yacht hoist stands directly over the pool. Using the hoist and soft slings, it can lift yachts in and out of the water. Although maintenance is relatively complex, this type of hoist is flexible, has strong lifting capacity, and covers a large area. Besides moving yachts to and from the water, it can also help with land transport and lifting.
Application Scenarios of Boat and Yacht Handling Crane
-
Yacht Clubs and Marinas
Used for daily boat handling. It moves boats between water and land. It helps organize berthing for yachts from 10T to 1200T. Its accurate positioning makes good use of dock space. -
Maintenance and Service Centers
Lifts yachts to land for hull checks, repairs, painting, or mechanical work. Soft lifting belts protect boat surfaces from scratches. -
Boat Manufacturing and Launching
Safely launches new yachts into water. The stable lifting system and adjustable settings fit different boat sizes. This prevents damage during first-time launch. -
Water Amusement Parks
Handles small and medium recreational boats like speedboats or pedal boats. It helps with moving, storage, and maintenance. This supports smooth park operations. -
Naval Ports and Military Bases
Moves service boats, patrol vessels, or small naval boats. Its strong build and multiple steering modes allow safe and flexible movement in tight areas. -
Storage Yards
Stores boats closely with little space between them. This saves storage space. Wireless remote control helps line up boats neatly. -
Residential Waterfronts
Helps private yacht owners lift boats onto docks or trailers for seasonal storage. It removes the need for large fixed equipment. -
Emergency Recovery
Recovers stuck or damaged boats from water. It can lift up to 1200T and works on different grounds like gravel or concrete.
The yacht hoist (also called mobile boat crane) is designed specially for lifting yachts. It is widely used in:
Yacht clubs: for launching, storage, and daily maintenance. It ensures safe movement in and out of docks and improves efficiency.
Water sports training centers: supports lifting and moving sports boats for training and competitions. It is safe and easy to use.
Water recreation centers: suitable for installing, repairing, and storing water amusement equipment. It adds flexibility and safety.
Navy and military units: used for ship maintenance and missions. Its high load capacity and precise control meet military needs.
Yacht factories: used for assembly, testing, and transport during production. It makes the process efficient and safe.
Yacht exhibition sites: helps with lifting and placing yachts for better display effect.
With its safety, flexibility, and multi-point syncing, the yacht hoist is the first choice for medium and large yachts. It is widely used in the global yacht industry.
This product is used in yacht clubs, water sports centers, water recreation centers, and naval bases. It is for boat maintenance, storage, and transport. It handles lifting and moving boats in and out of water. Capacity: 10t~1200t.
Main features:
Uses full hydraulic drive instead of traditional electric power. It combines mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems.
Syncs multiple lifting points through wire rope arrangement and load-sensing motors with electronic control.
Uses hinged main and end beams to reduce stress from rough ground.
Has multiple steering modes: straight, 45° left/right oblique, in-place rotation, and Ackerman steering. It is flexible for different needs.
Whether in shipyards, docks, or exhibition sites, an efficient and reliable boat handling crane makes work much easier. The tire-type yacht handling crane is a tool that meets various needs.
Key parameters like load capacity, span, and lifting height can be customized. Each site has special needs. Some have limited space and need specific span. Some require high lifting for storage or loading. This crane fits these different needs well. It matches the working environment and improves flexibility and efficiency.
