Changing Marina Management ……and Maximizing Profitability

At Marine Travelift, our business objective is to further our understanding in the field of Marina Management. This understanding helps us design tools to better help you optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of your marina. In line with this goal we have added a new line of Self-Propelled Transporters. When used in tandem with a Marine Travelift boat hoist, these new transporters can increase the revenues of your yard operation by more than 50%!

Greater Land Utilization

Our transporters are significantly narrower than a boat hoist, which allows you to park boats closer together in your boatyard. This tighter packing can virtually double the storage capacity of your yard, which translates directly into higher boat storage revenues.

Improved Boat Handling Efficiency

Using a boat hoist alone requires you to lift a boat out of the water and drive the boat to a storage position (often a good distance from the pier), then go back to the pier empty to pick another boat. During this entire transport time the boat hoist is not available for lifting. Using a transporter in tandem with your boat hoist allows you to lift a boat and then set it directly onto the transporter. While the transporter efficiently maneuvers the boat into a storage location, the boat hoist is available to lift the next customer’s boat. By the time the boat has been lifted out of the water, the transporter is back and ready to receive it…increasing your peak lifting capacity by up to 70%.The benefits of adding a transporter don’t stop with increased lifting and storage revenues.
