Key Takeaways
HydroHoist’s HarborHoist was selected for a U.S. Navy contract because of its floating design, stability, and reliable boat protection.
Floating boat lifts can support locations where traditional fixed lifts may not be practical due to water depth or dock conditions.
Boat lift durability, engineering, and service support are important for both recreational and professional marine applications
HydroHoist is proud to announce the receipt of orders from the U.S. Navy to provide HarborHoist boat lifts to protect Navy security and patrol boats.
The contracts for installations include ports in Virginia, New Jersey, Connecticut, and New Hampshire to be completed in April.
HydroHoist was selected through a strong vetting process based on the Navy’s confidence in HydroHoist’s history and the HarborHoist’s saltwater friendly design. The selection process factored in HydroHoist Boat Lifts position as the industry leader in boat lift manufacturing, ISO-9001 certification, full-time engineering staff, and customer service department.
JB Robison Jr., HydroHoist Inside Sales Manager, coordinated the contract with the Navy and was the point of contact throughout the process.
“Our regional Navy contact worked with us through the pre-award vetting process,” said Robison.
“HydroHoist’s quality manufacturing process, strong aluminum saltwater frame, polyethylene tanks and push button control are some of the HarborHoist attributes that set us apart. Ultimately, the affordability of the HarborHoist, ease of operation, and low maintenance requirements confirmed the U.S. Navy’s decision to choose HydroHoist.”
The HarborHoist™ boat lift has a level-lifting frame constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum. It is the most versatile boat lift in the HydroHoist family — perfect for fresh and salt water. The unit can be tied to the dock by simply using ropes or through a conventional mooring system. The hoist is compatible with floating docks and works in U-shaped, double-wide, L-shaped, and square docks. The hull supports can be configured for nearly all boat types, including inboard wake, pontoon, and tritoon boats.

FAQs
What is a floating boat lift?
A floating boat lift is a lift system that sits on the water and raises the boat out of the water for storage. It can be useful in marinas, fluctuating water levels, deep water, or dock settings where fixed lift legs are not ideal.
Why do commercial and government marine operations use boat lifts?
Boat lifts help protect vessels from constant water exposure, algae growth, corrosion, and dock impact. They can also make routine access, maintenance, and storage more efficient.
What makes HarborHoist different from traditional boat lifts?
HarborHoist is a floating boat lift designed to work with many dock types and water conditions. It offers boat protection without requiring the same bottom structure as some traditional fixed lifts.
How can boat lift quality affect long-term performance?
High-quality materials, engineering, and installation help a lift perform safely over time. A properly selected and maintained lift can reduce wear on the boat and improve the waterfront experience.
