Leading Manufacturer of Marine Equipment Launches their Most Advanced PWC Platform Yet
Claremore, Okla. – HydroHoist Boat Lifts, leading manufacturer of marine equipment, announced today the release of their latest design and most versatile personal watercraft (PWC) docking platform available – HydroPort® Epic.
For the ultimate in convenience and to improve the safety of those boarding the vessel, the Epic PWC platform was designed with a wider walkway and built-in anti-slip surface for easier access around the craft. The additional walkway footprint also allows operators to safely clean and cover their PWC after use without having to balance on smaller walkways.
For simple maintenance, the HydroPort Epic is equipped with enhanced drainage to remove any debris and water from the platform. A redesigned rear entry allows for a smoother loading and launching process. Keeping current customers in mind, this PWC platform can connect with the existing HydroPort Extreme model so that individuals and marinas can continue to grow their HydroPort fleet.
“HydroHoist is committed to supporting innovation in the boating industry,” said Mick Webber, CEO, HydroHoist, LLC. “We continuously keep up with the latest trends in both boat and PWC development. As these products continue to get larger, HydroHoist is growing, enhancing and redesigning our product lines to accommodate the larger capacities while maintaining our core quality, craftsmanship and performance that we build into every product.”
For maximum utility, the HydroPort Epic includes six sets of UV protected wheels, with the ability to lift 2,000-pounds. The Epic model is available in blue, gray and tan, and weighs 430 pounds. The product will be available through both HydroHoist and ShoreMaster distribution channels. The HydroPort Epic will be displayed at several 2020 boat shows around the nation.
FAQs
What is a PWC docking platform?
A PWC docking platform is a floating drive-on system that supports a personal watercraft when it is not being used. It allows the rider to dock the PWC without tying it directly to the dock.
Why should I use a drive-on PWC platform?
A drive-on platform makes launching and docking faster while helping protect the PWC from constant water exposure. It can also reduce rubbing, bumping, and damage from tying the craft to a dock.
What features matter when choosing a PWC docking platform?
Important features include weight capacity, dock compatibility, walking space, traction, drainage, and ease of entry and exit. The right choice depends on the PWC model and how the waterfront is used.
Can a PWC platform work with different dock systems?
Many PWC platforms can be configured for different dock setups, but compatibility should be confirmed before installation. A HydroHoist dealer can help match the right platform to the dock and water conditions.
