Floating Boat Lifts, Fixed Lifts & Boat Hoists
Boat lift, boat hoist, boathoist — different names, same job: getting your boat safely out of the water. What matters is matching the lift type to your dock and depth.
Floating Boat Lifts
Hydro-pneumatic boat hoists like the HydroHoist UltraLift attach to floating docks and rise and fall with the lake — the go-to choice on Lanier, Allatoona, and other lakes with changing water levels.
Fixed-Dock & Piling Lifts
Cable-driven boat hoists from Tide Tamer — piling and overhead configurations — plus the HydroHoist HarborHoist serve fixed docks and boathouses where the structure doesn't move.
Freestanding Lifts
ShoreMaster vertical and hydraulic lifts stand on the lakebed itself — ideal for pontoons and V-hulls at shorelines without a dock structure to mount to.
