Boat hoist

Weihua boat hoist is a specialized handling equipment designed for transporting various types of watercraft, from yachts to large vessels. It is primarily used to lift boats from the water onto the shore, or vice versa, for maintenance, repair, or new vessel launching.
Specifications
  • Lifting capacity: 32t ~ 1,200t
  • Hoisting speed: 0~2 m/min (full load), 0~5 m/min (no load)
  • Travel speed: 0~20 m/min (full load), 0~35 m/min (no load)
Introduction

Weihua boat lifts are specialized handling equipment designed specifically for moving various types of watercraft, from yachts to large vessels. They are primarily used to lift boats from the water onto land, or vice versa, for maintenance, repair, or launching new vessels.

Weihua boat lifts offer high flexibility, with a wide range of rated lifting capacities, from tens of tons to over a thousand tons. For example, Weihua has secured an order for the country’s first 1,200-ton vessel handling crane. The product series can handle watercraft weighing from 32 tons to 1,000 tons.

Eight Core Technologies:

  1. Infinite Height Control: Advanced lifting system supports smooth and safe control at full height.
  2. Damage-Free Lifting: Special spreaders and protective devices ensure no damage during lifting.
  3. Pure Rolling Tires: High-precision tire design ensures pure rolling without sliding, enhancing stability and safety.
  4. Multi-Point Lifting Synchronization: Synchronous control system ensures consistent lifting point heights for precise and stable operation.
  5. Road Surface Stress Relief: Articulated gantry design effectively releases uneven road surface stress, preventing equipment damage.
  6. Anti-Slip Tires: Advanced anti-slip technology ensures optimal grip and prevents skidding.
  7. Real-time Synchronization Detection: High-precision sensors and feedback systems adjust lifting point status in real-time, enhancing synchronization and accuracy.

Structural Composition

A typical Weihua boat lift mainly consists of the following major systems:

ComponentDescription and Function
Main Metal StructureUsually an N-type or L-type gantry, forming the main frame of the equipment.
Travel & Steering SystemIncludes travel wheels and steering mechanisms. The core function is to achieve omnidirectional movement, such as straight travel, diagonal travel, 90-degree steering, and even pivot turns.
Hoisting MechanismThe core lifting device responsible for the vertical movement of the vessel. Some models use a patented fork arm device that lifts by sliding vertically along columns.
Spreader & Adjustment MechanismUses flexible lifting slings (belts) to avoid damaging the hull surface. Some models feature adjustable main beam width to accommodate vessels of different sizes.
Power & Control SystemIncludes a hydraulic transmission system and an electrical control system. Operation is primarily remote-controlled for safety and convenience.

Features & Advantages

Omnidirectional Maneuverability
Self-sufficient power system supports operation without dead angles and adapts to complex working environments.
Efficient Drive System
Engine combined with full hydraulic drive provides strong power and stable performance.
High-Synchronization Lifting
Supports multi-point lifting or collaborative operation of multiple machines, ensuring synchronization, stability, and reliability.
Real-Time Synchronization Detection & Feedback
High-precision sensors and feedback control systems monitor and adjust lifting point status in real-time, improving synchronization and operational accuracy.
Compact & Convenient Design
Optional self-folding device reduces idle space, improving transfer convenience and equipment flexibility.
Versatile Tire System
Supports diagonal, Ackermann steering, and 360-degree rotation, with a 4% gradeability at full load for easy operation.

Applications

Boat lifts are widely used in various industries and scenarios, including:

  • Shipbuilding & Repair: Used in shipyards and repair facilities for lifting, handling, and launching new or repaired vessels.
  • Port & Terminal Operations: Cargo handling, vessel launching, and onshore maintenance at ports and terminals.
  • Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms: Platform construction, maintenance, and lifting of supplies and equipment.
  • Yacht Clubs & Private Marinas: Routine maintenance, care, and storage management of yachts.
  • Fishing Industry & Aquaculture: Lifting and maintaining fishing vessels, as well as installing and maintaining aquaculture facilities.
  • Military & Marine Rescue: Naval vessel maintenance, vessel lifting during rescue operations, and emergency material transport.
