PROTECT YOUR BOAT WITH AMERICA’S #1 SHALLOW WATER BOAT LIFT
Don’t compromise on protection for your valuable boat investment just because you have limited water depth. The HydroHoist UltraLift Shallow Water delivers the same legendary quality and reliability that has made HydroHoist America’s #1 boat lift manufacturer since 1964.
HOW THE ULTRALIFT SHALLOW WATER WORKS
The UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift operates using HydroHoist’s proven hydro-pneumatic technology, adapted specifically for low water environments:
- Extended Tank Design: The specially engineered tanks have a wider, lower profile that distributes buoyancy while requiring minimal water depth.
- Low-Profile Frame: The entire framework sits lower in the water while maintaining critical above-water positioning for steel components.
- Hydro-Pneumatic Operation: Using standard household electrical current, the system pumps air into the tanks to displace water.
- Even Lift Distribution: As water is displaced, the tanks provide precisely balanced lifting power, raising your boat completely out of the water.
- Secure Storage: In the raised position, your boat remains high and dry, protected from water damage, algae growth, and environmental exposure.
- Simple Lowering: When you’re ready to use your boat, simply press a button to release the air, allowing water to re-enter the tanks and gently lower your vessel.

WHY CHOOSE HYDROHOIST ULTRALIFT SHALLOW WATER BOAT LIFTS?
AMERICA’S MOST TRUSTED SHALLOW WATER 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 the UltraLift Shallow Water for their low-depth waterfront properties:
- SPECIALIZED DESIGN FOR CHALLENGING SHALLOW WATERS
While traditional boat lifts require deeper water, the UltraLift Shallow Water brings HydroHoist’s legendary protection to previously incompatible locations. This innovation allows more waterfront property owners to protect their boats regardless of water depth.
- SUPERIOR SHALLOW WATER PERFORMANCE
The extended tank design creates maximum buoyancy in minimal water depth, allowing for reliable operation in as little as three feet of water – a depth where most competitor lifts simply cannot function.
- PROTECTION FROM LOW WATER DAMAGE
When water levels drop, boats in fixed docks risk damaging contact with the lakebed. The UltraLift Shallow Water keeps your vessel elevated and protected even during seasonal water level fluctuations.
- REDUCED CORROSION EXPOSURE
With all steel components positioned above the waterline, the UltraLift Shallow Water creates a less corrosive environment for your boat lift. This design choice significantly extends the lift’s lifespan compared to traditional boat lift configurations.
- AMERICAN ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING
Every HydroHoist UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift is proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, supporting American jobs while ensuring the highest quality standards and performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ULTRALIFT SHALLOW WATER BOAT LIFTS
What is the minimum water depth required for the UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift?
The UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift requires as little as 36 inches of water depth plus your boat’s hull draft. This makes it ideal for shallow coves, canals, and waterfront properties with limited water depth where traditional boat lifts cannot operate effectively.
How does the UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift differ from standard boat hoists?
The UltraLift Shallow Water features a specialized extended tank design with a lower profile that distributes buoyancy more efficiently in shallow environments. This unique configuration allows for powerful lifting capability in water depths as low as three feet, whereas standard boat hoists typically require much deeper water.
Will the UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift work with floating docks?
Yes, the UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift works excellently with floating docks in shallow water environments. The system’s low-profile design complements floating docks perfectly, moving with changing water levels while providing consistent protection for your vessel.
What types of boats work best with the UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift?
The UltraLift Shallow Water is ideal for fishing boats, smaller recreational vessels, pontoons with shallow drafts, and other watercraft commonly used in shallow water environments. With models ranging from 4,400 to 8,800 pounds capacity, it accommodates a wide variety of boats up to 26 feet in length.
Does the UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift protect my boat during winter or low water seasons?
Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of the UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift is its ability to keep your boat elevated and protected during seasonal water level changes. When water levels drop during dry seasons or winter drawdowns, your boat remains safely suspended above the lakebed, preventing damage from ground contact.
How does the UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift handle fluctuating water levels?
The UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift automatically adjusts to changing water levels. As a floating system, it rises and falls with the water, maintaining consistent performance regardless of seasonal or weather-related water level fluctuations – as long as the minimum depth requirement is maintained.
Is the UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift difficult to maintain?
No, the UltraLift Shallow Water is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. The polyethylene tanks are impervious to impact and environmental damage, while the positioning of all steel components above the waterline dramatically reduces corrosion concerns. Most owners find that a simple annual inspection is all that’s required.
Can I install an UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift myself?
While the system is engineered for straightforward assembly, we recommend professional installation by an authorized HydroHoist dealer. Proper setup in shallow water environments requires precise positioning and leveling to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Our trained dealers have the expertise to ensure your boat lift functions perfectly in your specific shallow water location.
How does the UltraLift Shallow Water handle boats during storms or rough water?
The UltraLift Shallow Water boat lift provides excellent stability even in adverse weather conditions. The extended tank design creates a wider footprint that enhances stability, while the secure mounting system keeps your boat safely elevated even during storms. For particularly exposed locations, additional guide posts can be added for extra protection.
Will the UltraLift Shallow Water work for saltwater applications?
The UltraLift Shallow Water is primarily designed for freshwater environments. For saltwater or brackish water applications, we recommend our specialized HarborHoist model, which features additional corrosion-resistant components specifically engineered for marine environments.
