- Used in tidal waters, the Great Lakes and reservoirs, where water levels vary.
Our improved design features lower maintenance and a reliable nonslip positive chain drive.

All structural parts are manufactured from high strength corrosion resistant 6061-T6 aluminum and the lift is driven by stainless steel motors. Bunks are fully carpeted.
