10,000 lb. Galvanized Four Post Pile Mount Boat Lift

The 10,000 lb. Galvanized Four Post Pile Mount Boat Lift is a robust and durable boat lifting system designed to securely elevate boats weighing up to 10,000 lbs. It is specifically engineered to mount on the tops of four dock pilings, providing stability and reliability.

Key Features:

1. High Lift Capacity: With a lift capacity of 10,000 lbs., this boat lift is capable of safely and efficiently lifting a wide range of boats, including larger vessels.
2. All-Welded Design: The boat lift features an all-welded construction, ensuring superior strength and longevity. It is built to withstand the harsh marine environment and provide reliable performance for years to come.
3. Hot-Dipped Galvanized Finish: The boat lift is coated with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, which provides exceptional corrosion resistance. This protective coating enhances the durability of the lift and enables it to withstand exposure to water, salt, and other environmental factors.
4. Elite Motors: The lift is equipped with two 3/4 HP Elite Motors, one for each top beam. These powerful electric motors provide reliable and efficient operation, allowing for smooth and controlled lifting of the boat.
5. Maintained Drum Switches: The lift includes two maintained drum switches, which offer convenient and easy control of the lifting process. They allow for precise positioning of the boat and ensure safe and reliable operation.
6. GFCI Protection: The lift’s electrical system is equipped with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection, which adds an extra layer of safety by automatically shutting off the power in the event of a ground fault.
7. Galvanized Top Beams: The top beams of the lift are constructed from galvanized steel, providing exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion. These beams ensure stable and secure support for the boat during the lifting process.
8. Guidepost Stanchions: The lift includes four guidepost stanchions, PVC pipes, and black 48-inch split bumpers. These components assist in guiding the boat during the lifting and lowering process, ensuring precise alignment and preventing damage.
9. 4,000 lb. Gear Plate Assemblies: The lift features two 4,000 lb. standard powder-coated gear plate assemblies with hoist covers. These gear plate assemblies provide the necessary mechanical power to lift and lower the boat smoothly and efficiently.
10. Cable Configuration: The lift utilizes a 31 ft. cable compounded configuration, which contributes to its 10,000 lb. lift capacity rating. It comes with four 31 ft. x 5/16 in. 7 x 19 aircraft cables, ensuring strong and reliable lifting performance.

Please note that the boat lift does not include piling mount bolts or cradle bunks. Additionally, it requires proper installation by experienced contractors or professionals familiar with boat hoist assembly and installation.

The 10,000 lb. Galvanized Four Post Pile Mount Boat Lift is a high-quality and dependable solution for safely lifting and storing boats weighing up to 10,000 lbs. Its robust construction, galvanized finish, and powerful motor system make it an excellent choice for boat owners seeking a reliable and durable boat lift.

CRADLE WIDTH MEASUREMENT

The 6,000 lb. galvanized boat lift comes with standard 12 ft. 6 in. cradle beams. If your pilings are already installed, it is very important to get an accurate center-to-center measurement between the pilings. This measurement will determine the cradle length you will need to order. If the center-to-center measurement is 10 ft., then you will need a cradle length of 10 ft. If the correct length of boat cradles are not installed there can be issued with how the boat lift operates.

PILING DEPTH

The 8 in. pilings need to be installed with sufficient seabed penetration to support the weight of the boat. Pilings must be square and level to each other. The two drive-end pilings (the pipings where the boat hoists are mounted) should be 6 in. shorter than the other two pilings. Any movement of the pilings after installation will adversely affect boat lift operations and safety.

CRADLE WIDTH MEASUREMENT

6,000-lb galvanized boat lift is equipped with standard 12 ft 6 in cradle beams. If your pilings are already installed, it is essential to obtain a precise center-to-center measurement between the pilings. Your cradle length will be determined by this measurement. When the center-to-center measurement is 12 ft 6 in, then you will need a cradle length of 12 ft 6 in If the correct length of boat cradles is not installed, issues can arise with how the boat lift operates.

PILING DEPTH

To support the weight of the boat, the 8-inch pilings must be installed with enough seabed penetration. Each piling must be square and level with the others. Drive-end pilings (where the boat hoists are installed) should be 6 inches shorter than the other two pilings. After installation, movement of the pilings will affect boat lift operation and safety.

A. HOIST SECUREMENT

BH-USA flat-plate boat hoists are attached to the top beam with 1/2 in x 1 1/2 in bolts (included). Initially, mount the back of the flat-plate cover between the gear plate and the top beam. Align the hole in the drive pipe with the hole in the large gear sleeve. Set the gear sleeve bolt in place and snap the front cover into the back cover.

B. BOAT HOIST CONTROL CABLE

One of the flat-plate boat hoists is wired with an extra cable (45 ft) so that both drum switches can be mounted side-by-side. It is not recommended to wire both flat-plate hoists to one drum switch. For double motorboat lifts, we recommend using the GEM Remotes GR2 double motor boat lift remote. One to two boat lift motors can be operated simultaneously. It was designed to operate this type of lift.

C. TOP BEAM SECUREMENT

Utilize lag or through bolts to secure the top beams to the pilings. Piling attachment bolts are not included.

D. CABLE INSTALLATION

The 10,000 lb & 12,000 lb galvanized boat lifts will come with 123 ft of boat lift cable. Unlike the 6,000 lb and 8,000 lb beams, the 10,000 lb & 12,000 lb beams have deadman brackets welded to each beam to attach your boat lift cable. Compounding blocks are included with boat cradles.

Installation is required. This unit should be assembled by experienced contractors or professionals familiar with boat hoist assembly and installation. Improper installation and maintenance may void the manufacturer’s warranty. The assembly/use instructions should be read and examined before operation.
