Sunstream Boat Lifts - Why Hydraulic?

Why Hydraulic Lifts

Design Advantages
Unlike cables, hydraulics can push and pull. This enables the structure of a hydraulic lift to hide below the boat, instead of above, or to the side like that of a cable lift. Besides the obvious aesthetic advantages, this allows the boat to be positioned with far less of a gap between the boat and dock.

Fast and Smooth Operation
Hydraulic lifts lift in seconds instead of minutes, virtually eliminating wait time, and providing an additional safety measure while removing your boat from the waves. The hydraulics reduce the noise on the water and will be appreciated by your neighbors as you return from a late night cruise.

Improved Safety
Snapping cables can not only sink your boat, but can be deadly. Sunstream’s hydraulic lifts operate below the boat and use an added security measure, the over-center GravityLock™ system. The over-center GravityLock™ design locks the boat in the up position, giving you peace of mind.
