Italian hoist for Dutch yard


A remotely-controlled, high lift capacity, four-wheel-drive boat hoist with all-wheel steering has been delivered to the yard of Next Generation Shiplift in Lauweersoog, The Netherlands, by Boat Lift Srl of Italy. Boat Lift mobile boat hoists


are designed and manufactured to guarantee the utmost safety


and reliability relying on the most up-to-date technology. All the company’s machines feature an electronic steering system for perfect wheel alignment under any circumstances. By simply pressing a push-button on the touch screen, it is possible to pass from one mode to another: four steering wheels – two steering wheels and


two skid steering – crab steering. Hoists are equipped with a


weighing system complete with bolted load cells, mounted on blocks. This system has a double function: to limit the lifted load beyond the admitted capacity (three attention/ operation thresholds); and to control the aft and forward weight of the craft


being moved via an on-board display. They also feature a device


that progressively speeds up or slows down the machine to avoid risky swinging of the craft during transport. Boat Lift Srl info@boatlift.it www.boatlift.it

beneficial features and options. From new industrial tyres and a modified wheel frame to a new slew bearing system with easy access grease points and sealed housing, every detail of this boat hoist was designed with the customer in mind. Johnson pointed out that the


Parker IQAN system is an impressive addition to the current BFMII design for added operator convenience. Operators have intelligent diagnostics on engine performance and machine function with this system through LCD displays on the redesigned cab and on the new radio remote. Another benefit for marinas with the 85 BFMII is its increased hydraulic sling adjustment speed, which aids operator efficiency.
