All boat cradles, cradle beams, and boat lift ship freight. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to unload the freight from the delivery truck. The purchaser must be present during delivery. For more questions, visit our shipping terms and conditions.
Aluminum cradles could become buoyant if wood bunks are added. To offset any buoyancy, engineered lifts with wood bunks (15001, 15002, 15006, and 15007) come with 4 x 10 lb cradle weights. Extra weights can be purchased separately.
Drilling into the aluminum structural beam compromises the integrity of the aluminum structural beam.
