WHY CHOOSE HYDROHOIST BOAT LIFTS?
AMERICA’S MOST TRUSTED BOAT LIFT MANUFACTURER
For nearly six decades, HydroHoist has led the industry in boat lift innovation and reliability. Here’s why boat owners consistently choose HydroHoist over other boat hoist options:
- UNMATCHED DURABILITY
HydroHoist’s polyethylene tanks flex when stressed and return undamaged to their original shape, outlasting metal alternatives. With all steel components positioned above water in most models, our boat lifts resist corrosion in ways competing systems simply cannot match.
- SUPERIOR BOAT PROTECTION
Your boat represents a significant investment. HydroHoist boat lifts keep your vessel high and dry, preventing hull damage, stopping algae growth, and eliminating water absorption into fiberglass—all factors that decrease your boat’s value over time.
- EASE OF USE
Why struggle with manual boat launching when you can enjoy one-touch convenience? HydroHoist boat lifts make boating more enjoyable by eliminating the physical strain of traditional launching methods.
- CUSTOMIZABLE FOR YOUR SPECIFIC BOAT
With models ranging from 4,400 to 32,000 pounds capacity, HydroHoist accommodates virtually any recreational boat. Our expert dealers configure your boat lift system specifically for your vessel and docking situation.
- MADE IN AMERICA
Every HydroHoist boat lift is proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, supporting American jobs while ensuring the highest quality standards.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HYDROHOIST BOAT LIFTS
How long do HydroHoist boat lifts last?
HydroHoist boat lifts are engineered for exceptional longevity, with many lifts remaining in service for 20-30 years or more. The actual lifespan depends on usage patterns, environmental conditions, and maintenance, but HydroHoist’s robust construction and innovative design consistently deliver industry-leading durability.
How deep does the water need to be for a HydroHoist boat lift?
Water depth requirements vary by model. Standard UltraLift models typically require 4-7 feet of water (depending on model and boat draft), while our Shallow Water series can operate in depths as shallow as 3 feet plus boat draft. HarborHoist models need just 24 inches plus the draft of your boat. Your local dealer can help determine the perfect model for your specific water depth.
What’s the difference between HydroHoist UltraLift and HarborHoist models?
The UltraLift Series is optimized for freshwater environments and features a design that keeps all steel components above the waterline. The HarborHoist is specifically engineered for versatility in both fresh and saltwater applications, featuring an aluminum structure, continuous walkways, and a free-floating design that can be easily relocated.
Can HydroHoist boat lifts be used in saltwater?
Yes, HydroHoist offers models specifically designed for saltwater environments. The HarborHoist, with its marine-grade aluminum structure and stainless steel hardware, is ideal for saltwater applications and provides excellent corrosion resistance in harsh marine conditions.
Is my HydroHoist boat lift covered by homeowners insurance?
Boat lifts are typically considered separate structures from your home and may not be automatically covered by standard homeowners insurance policies. However, many insurance providers offer endorsements or separate policies for waterfront structures including boat lifts. We recommend consulting with your insurance agent about specific coverage options.
How much maintenance do HydroHoist boat lifts require?
HydroHoist boat lifts are designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Unlike traditional lifts that require regular greasing and component replacement, HydroHoist’s innovative design minimizes maintenance requirements. Simple annual inspections and occasional cleaning are typically all that’s needed to keep your lift operating smoothly for decades.
Can I install a HydroHoist boat lift myself?
While HydroHoist boat lifts are engineered for straightforward assembly, we recommend professional installation by an authorized dealer. Proper setup ensures optimal performance, longevity, and safety. Our nationwide dealer network provides expert installation services tailored to your specific waterfront conditions.
How quickly can I get my boat in and out of the water with a HydroHoist?
HydroHoist boat lifts feature efficient lift systems that typically raise or lower your boat in just 1-2 minutes, depending on the model and boat size. This quick operation means more time enjoying your boat and less time waiting for launching or storage.
