Product Introduction
Marine Travel Lift (also known as a Boat Hoist or Mobile Boat Hauler) is a specialized material handling solution purpose-built for the lifting, transferring, and dry-dock storage of yachts and marine vessels. Designed with a high-clearance U-shaped steel frame, soft slings, and multi-wheel steering systems, it ensures gentle, efficient, and damage-free vessel movement.

Product Advantages
Gentle Hull Protection
Uses high-tenacity, soft, and flexible fabric slings to support the boat’s hull during lifting, preventing scratches, structural stress, or finish damage.
Multi-Directional Maneuverability
Features flexible multi-wheel hydraulic steering (including 90° crab steering, diagonal travel, and pivot turning) for precise positioning in tight marina yards.
Adjustable Sling Points
Sling distance and height can be hydraulically adjusted to accommodate varying boat lengths, beam widths, and hull geometries.
Self-Contained & Mobile
Fully diesel-hydraulic or electric-driven, allowing complete freedom of movement without relying on fixed runway beams or floor rails.
Typical Application Scenarios
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
Essential for routine launching, haul-out operations, dry-stacking storage, and hull maintenance or cleaning.
Shipyards & Repair Bases
Used in boat manufacturing, refitting, and major repairs, allowing vessels to be safely transported to land-based workstations to streamline workflows and reduce maintenance overhead.
Specialized Infrastructure Projects
Select heavy-duty custom models are also utilized in civil engineering projects, such as lifting and placing precast ballastless track slabs for high-speed railway construction.
