Standing Boat LiftsShoreMaster offers three basic types of standing boat lifts the Vertical Lift, the Cantilever Lift and the Hydraulic Lift. ShoreMaster vertical lifts are designed for shallow waters, highly fluctuating waters and rough waters where you need to get your boat high out of the water. Cantilever models lift the boat with a pivoting motion. Our cantilever lift is generally easier to crank up than a vertical lift, and mechanically simpler, with fewer moving parts. Cantilever boat lifts are designed for non-fluctuating waters of over 2.5 feet, the simple design of one cable and three pulleys offers proven performance for years of maintenance-free operation. ShoreMaster’s hydraulic lift represents the most advanced technology available. Its quick, quiet operation will lift your boat out of the water in seconds. With the optional keychain remote, it’s as easy as pushing a button.
