The cantilever boatlift is the original all-aluminum boatlift. Cantilever models lift the boat with a pivoting motion. Our cantilever lift are generally easier to crank up than a vertical lift, and mechanically simpler also with fewer moving parts to wear. Designed for non-fluctuating waters of over 2.5 feet, the simple design of one cable and three pulleys offers proven performance for years of maintenance free operation. The boatlift design also incorporates a natural mechanical advantage that actually makes operation easier as the boat is raised higher. Unlike our Hi-Lift that’s an economical, direct vertical rise lift that’s specifically designed for deeper water applications or where water levels fluctuate causing some boatlift models to be ineffective.
