How Does The Travel Lift Marine Work?
Incorporating a number of simple mechanisms and units, the marine boat travel lift offers great power for boat hauling. It is mainly composed of the metal structure, wheel group, hoisting mechanism, hydraulic system, steering system and control system.
The metal structure is the basic unit that supports the weight of loads and the components of the crane. It is designed and constructed to guarantee a prolonged working life.
In terms of hoisting mechanism, travel lift slings are the units that are positioned underneath the ship, and they are aligned vertically with the lifting points. In addition, all the lifting points will be raised high enough to clear from supports or any obstacles along the lifting path. While in the transportation process, they will be lowered to near ground level as much as possible.
In regards to the operation and steering system, there are a few modes that can be applied for the marine lift travelling, including straight travelling, oblique travelling, fixed axle steering, 90 degree steering, Ackermann steering and so on to meet different working conditions. The mobile boat lift can also travel with maximum slope up to 4% when fully loaded. The steering mechanism is powered hydraulically.
Hydraulic transmission system is commonly applied for the movement of the entire crane. According to customer’s requirements, we can also design electric transmission mechanism for the small tonnage marine travel lift.
How to control the marine lift? Basically, there are two main styles, remote control and cabin control. The remotely controlled boat lift is commonly found in a variety of fields since it is more economical than a driver’s cabin. Whereas cabin controlled mobile boat hoist is more often applied for large tonnage boat hauling requirements.
Once accomplishing the lift-in and lift-out work, the travel lift should be parked aside for the convenience of water drainage.

Anti-corrosion Design for Harsh Marine Environments
For most marine applications, the machine should be designed and built to withstand harsh marine environments such as corrosive salt-water. Working near or in a body of water, the marine travel lift calls for specific design and construction to better protect the crane.
- galvanizing the steel will effectively prevent it from corroding in salt-water environments.
- Use stainless steel motors and components for excellent corrosion resistance in the harsh marine environments.
- The use of superior primer and top coat will better resist corrosion.
- Use rigid beam formed structure for a longer working life.
Tips for Boat Lift Safety
To ensure the safety of the equipment and personnel, the travel-lift operator should follow operating procedure. Here are some tips for the safe use of boat lift crane.
- Conduct a pre-lift check, such as checking engine oil level, slings, tires, wire cable and other crucial components.
- During lifting, the personnel in the working area should be restricted to those who are responsible for the lifting operations.
- At least two persons are required for lifting operations, an operator and a coordinator so as to achieve a safe and efficient lifting.
- The vessel to be lifted should not exceed the rated lifting capacity.
- In harsh environments like strong winds, no lifting operations should be performed.
- The marine travel-lift should take a periodic inspection and maintenance to make sure it is in a good working condition as well as to prolong its working life.
