NOW COMES THE GEAR DRIVE®

But first!

WHAT IS A WINCH?

THE BEST WINCH SYSTEMS AVAILABLE IN THE INDUSTRY!

The most important part of a boat lift is the winch system and it should be a  or at least, gear driven. The winch system is the electromechanical device that powers and winds the stainless steel cables around the shafts that lift your vessel.

The  GEAR DRIVE® winch system pictured above has no belts, chains, pulleys or sprockets. It is totally maintenance free. Both the aluminum gearbox (bathed in oil) and the electric drive motors are sealed from the environment and elements. There are absolutely no exposed mechanical parts at the drive. The gearbox housing is a one-piece aluminum part made specifically for corrosion resistance. This winch system can lift capacities up to 180,000 pounds.

GEAR DRIVE® Lifts

Another happy boat lift customer! We are looking at a custom 24,000 lb. GEAR DRIVE® Hi-Tide lift on the right with 20 ft. of lift travel installed on 45 ft. long piles. This waterway, near the inlet to the ocean, has a 9 ft. tidal rise and fall. The lift also allows for “stern-in” storage. The lift on the left is a 16,000 lb. custom  GEAR DRIVE®. Both lifts are remotely controlled with limit switches to control the travel up and down.

Above is the 30,000 Lb.  GEAR DRIVE® (8) Pile Lift System operating on a rough and open bay.

These lifts have options that make them, as quoted by Hi-Tide, “the fastest boat lifts in the world”.
