customised TM60 self- propelled transporter was recently delivered to Hinckley Yacht Services in
Stuart, Florida, by Marine Travelift.
This model has a capacity of 132,000 lb and joins this long-established boatyard’s line-up of Marine Travelift boat hoists, which include a 50 BFM, 88 BFM and 150 AMO.
Hinckley Yacht Services is located in the historic Manatee Pocket, a renowned yachting destination, and has been serving the needs of sailors for decades. Its full-service yard now
was not self-propelled, so when construction of the new facility was complete, the company started looking for a more innovative solution to transporting larger boats into tight spaces. Its new TM60 from Marine Travelift is equipped with hydraulic self-levelling suspension, a wireless remote control and solid tyres. In addition, this TM60 transporter was designed with optional hydraulic telescopic arms, which can be rotated 180 degrees and adjusted in seconds to easily fit any boat.
