One of the first things to consider when choosing a lift is what kind of dock you’ll be applying it to. If you have a floating dock, an overhead boat lift is the best option for you. With I-beam height being the biggest difference between the types of lifts, it’s important to have the right type of lift for your dock. As you can see in the media below, this system will feature I-beams that’ll sit above your head.
If your dock is not already equipped, we will drive four pillars into the ground to properly secure the lift. You will get to chose between square or round pilings. The next thing to consider is what type of boat you will be putting on the lift. This will determine what kind of bunk configuration your overhead lift has. We will also need to determine what weight limit lift to install. When determining the proper weight limit of lift to use, we must consider the gas tanks’ capacity, held water, added weight, etc. All these variables make it more sensible to size up when purchasing a lift.
As you can see above, an overhead lift still leaves enough space for everyone boarding to hop on. Some find these I-beams inconvenient as opposed to an option that is at feet level. However, It’s best to get the lift that fits your dock and boats’ needs best. For more information, feel free to contact us!
