A marine travel lift, also known as a boat lifting gantry crane or yacht lift crane, is a specialized piece of lifting equipment designed for handling, transporting, and maintaining various types of boats and yachts, typically ranging from 30 to 1,200 tons. Built on the advanced structure of an RTG gantry crane, it features a unique U-shaped frame that allows it to accommodate vessels with high or wide hulls with ease. The crane offers twelve precise movement functions, including linear, diagonal, tilting, and Ackerman steering motions, ensuring excellent maneuverability in narrow or uneven terrains. With its stable lifting performance, corrosion-resistant materials, and intelligent control system, the marine travel lift is widely applied in shipyards, marinas, and coastal maintenance centers, providing safe, efficient, and accurate yacht handling solutions.
Main Components
1. Main Frame
The marine travel lift adopts a distinctive “U”-shaped design, which provides sufficient clearance for boats with tall hulls. This structure allows the equipment to easily accommodate oversized vessels and ensures safe entry and exit during lifting operations. It also enhances overall stability and makes it easier to handle yachts of different sizes and shapes.
2. Tire Set
Equipped with multiple motion modes such as straight, diagonal, and on-the-spot rotation, the tire system enables flexible movement even on uneven or narrow surfaces. This design allows the boat gantry crane to operate efficiently in shipyards, docks, and coastal marinas, adapting to a variety of terrain conditions.
3. Lifting Mechanism and Hydraulic Transmission System
A powerful lifting mechanism, combined with a reliable hydraulic transmission system, ensures smooth, precise, and energy-efficient hoisting. The synchronized control of each lifting point allows heavy yachts to be lifted evenly, minimizing swing and enhancing overall safety during operation.
4. Electrical Control System
The advanced electrical control system provides accurate operation and real-time monitoring. It includes features such as overload protection, automatic synchronization, and emergency stop functions, ensuring both safety and stability during lifting and transportation processes.
5. Lifting Sling
Boat gantry crane equipped with slings. High-strength adjustable slings made of durable synthetic materials are used to cradle the boat securely. They distribute the load evenly across the hull, preventing structural damage and ensuring safe lifting even for large or delicate yachts.
