Shafted Beam Lifts

For more then 40 years this type of lift has been the industry standard.

We manufacture shafted beam lifts under two brand names: ALUM-A-VATOR, a commercial line, and ALUM-A-HOIST, a standard line.

     

Cables connected to four corners of boat platform

Two motor driven shafts supported from beams running parallel to the center line of the boat
Typically mounted on four pilings
Used in tidal waters, the Great Lakes & reservoirs, where water levels vary.
     

Our improved design features lower maintenance and a reliable nonslip positive chain drive.


ALUM-A-VATOR

...It's all in our name.

Alum-A-Vator is a traditional shafted beam boat lift, specifically engineered to withstand harsh conditions. Recognizable by its eight sided heavy-duty aluminum cast cover, Alum-A-Vator is the choice for the discriminating homeowner and for any marina or commercial installation where reliability and durability are a must. All structural parts are manufactured from high strength corrosion resistant 6061-T6 aluminum and the lift is driven by stainless steel motors. Bunks are fully carpeted.


ALUM-A-HOIST

...It's all in our name.

Alum-A-Hoist is a traditional shafted beam boat lift, developed to provide consumers with a low cost alternative to lifts made of galvanized steel. All structural parts are manufactured from high strength corrosion resistant 6061-T6 aluminum. A superior residential lift, it represents a significantly greater value to the waterfront home owner These lifts not only last years longer, but they survive the elements and maintain their appearance.
