Lift Tech Boat Lift Motors- Direct Drive

 

Lift Tech Direct-Drive Motors are our go-to when selecting a lift motor for a customer or friends and family! The most popular and most respected motor company on the market, with the easiest installation and overall user-friendliness! Any professional lift/ dock installer will be familiar with these systems.

 
  • Will fit ANY boat lift that has a wheel (with the proper adaptor installation kit). Up to 7,000 pound capacity.

 

  • AC 120 Volt Option- (Standard House Current) for use on GFCI circuit power at the shoreline or dock.

 

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS UTILIZE A GFCI- PROTECTED 110V POWER SOURCE WHEN NEAR WATER!

IF IN DOUBT, CALL A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN TO INSPECT/ INSTALL THE PROPER, SAFE EQUIPMENT!

 

  • DC 24V Option- System for use with 24V Solar/ Battery Kit, sold separately, below.

 

  • The RED L.E.D. will continue to flash on and off while hooked up to AC power. This is normal. When you first start to operate the system, the RED L.E.D. will stay on for about 2 seconds then go off. This is normal. When operating the system in the up mode and the RED L.E.D. stays on, this means that the current limit has been reached and this will shorten the life of your system.

 

  • Installs in 20 minutes or less.

 

  • Available with corded remote option (for lifts with canopies) or manual key version for lifts without canopies.

 

  • Lift Tech Marine offers a 2 year warranty against manufacture defects on all of our boat lift motors!

Lift Tech Direct-Drive Motors

 

Lift Tech direct-drive motors set the standard for 'electric boat lifts' as many people call them. Some brands offer integrated motor options from the factory (nearly every major brand utilizes LiftTech motors in some form inside of their integrated winch boxes), typically at a greatly inflated price with the only benefit being a slightly cleaner look. If the motor ever has an issue, that may mean replacing the entire winch and motor (or at least requiring any work to be done by a qualified brand dealer representative due to complexity) which can be very expensive. We prefer these in most applications over hydrualic-cable hybrid lifts, which have a much heavier package (and lopsided weight), are much more expensive to buy and far more expensive to service if you cannot perform the labor yourself and are using genuine parts, versus a motor that can be replaced by nearly anyone with 2 wrenches and 20 minutes of time to be back up and running!

 

The preferred alternative is to add a stand-alone Lift Tech motor to any standard boat lift with a manual crank winch, which can be added in less than an hour, or swapped out by just about anyone in 20 minutes with a ratchet and wrench. Motors can be added at the time of purchase, or anytime later if you give the manual winch a shot and decide that cranking your boat up and down 4 times a day on the weekend is not your favorite thing to do. These motors can handle any boat lift capacity up to 7,000lbs.

BOAT LIFT BUDDY- WHEEL-ASSIST LIFT MOTOR

by EXTREME MAX

 

An economical and reliable way to power a boat lift for boats up to 3,500lbs.! The universal, winch wheel to motor wheel design fits most all brands of boat lifts up to 3,600# weight capacity (larger lifts with heavier boats require the above direct-drive motor systems). With a simple bungee-tensioning system, you can easily disconnect the bungee and flip the motor out of the way to rapidly crank the wheel up by hand to quickly stabilize the boat on wavy or windy lakes, then simply reconnect the bungee to motor the boat lift to the desired resting height!

 

The 12V DC version comes with a 15' cable to connect to your boat's 12V battery (in theory if long enough, though it depends on your battery location relative to the winch on your lift, or 5 ft. extensions can be purchased), a stand-alone battery on the dock (recommended, simply charage the battery in the garage periodically and save your boat battery and expense/hassle of solar kits) or a 12V solar kit (sold separately, usually a direct drive motor is a better option at that point unless you want to keep your crank wheel), while the 120V AC unit is ready to plug into your 110v GFI-protected dock power outlet.

SOLAR CHARGING KITS- 12V & 24V

 

Solar Kits

 

Solar kits come complete with everything you need except a battery & black plastic battery storage case (Marine Deep Cycle 12V-Series 24 size).  Our kits are easy to install with clear instructions and labeled wires with numbered plug-ends. Solar panels are mounted in aluminum anodized frames with sealed tempered glass, built for years of outdoor use.

 

We only recommend the 24V system (requires TWO deep-cycle marine batteries and black plastic cases- sold at Walmart, Costco, Sam's, Menards, Etc.) as the 12V system with only one battery is simply too slow for most customers. The 24V system provides a much faster lift motor speed for those running a direct-drive motor system.

 

 

Kits include: solar panel, universal adjustable panel-mounting bracket, pre-wired w/ 20' of wire & 3/8" terminals, post mount universal battery tray. Note: 20w 12v systems include a voltage controller. A 20w 24v systems does not need a controller and is therefore cheaper, not factoring the additional necessary battery. 

 

 

Recommended For Direct-Drive Motors:

20w 24V Solar Panel Kit with Panel Bracket & Canopy Mount Dual Canopy Tray-

$455.00 plus 6% tax

*Requires Two 12V Deep Cycle Marine- Series 24 Size Batteries & Plastic Storage Cases- NOT Included!- Can Be Found At Walmart, Sam's, Costco, Menards, Etc.*

 

 

 

SUPERIOR Universal Vertical Guide-Ons (HD-VGOs)

 

SUPERIOR HD Vertical Guide-Ons (HD-VGOs)

 

Our own design of universal vertical boat guides is a simple, effective way to guide and protect your boat into your boat lift/ hoist, while taking up the least amount of width for boats with a tight clearance. These are sold in a set of four 4' HD aluminum tubes with simple mounting brackets and 4' PVC roller-sleeves for easy PVC replacement over the years.

 

Some customers opt to use TWO SETS of four guides to line the side of the lift as well, one set will keep your boat off of the 4 corner posts of the lift, but will not prevent the bow from sticking out the side and hitting the lift frame or dock if you get REALLY crooked upon entry, hence the second set along the side of the cradle.

 

The vertical design ensures that the guides should make contact with your boat's rub rail first, unlike horizontal full-length guides often miss the rub rail and end up rubbing against and damaging the gel coat on your hull or snagging strakes on your pontoons of your boat if they are not properly adjusted, or if you hit waves while entering the lift. Due to the modular design, the individual components are easy to replace if you end up coming in too fast and bend or break one.

 

Universal mounting with the provided galvanized steel U-bolts, backing plates and Nylock nuts fits any brand of 2"x5" or 2"x6" cradle beams.

 

 

SUPERIOR HD Vertical Guide-Ons (Set of 4 Poles/ Brackets)- $399 plus 6% tax

SUPERIOR Universal Boat Guides & Boat Lift Step-Over

SUPERIOR (Mostly) Universal Boat Guides & Boat Lift Step

Our 12 ft. HORIZONTAL GUIDE-ONS come with U-bolt brackets that fit either a 2"x5" or 2"x6" cradle beam size on your existing boat lift, with slider tabs that bolt to the upright tubes, allowing you to adjust the position of the uprights based on your lift. Some lift brand designs do not allow for bolting on the side cradle due to interference with the winch box when the lift is cranked up, or possibly other features of the lift- this may require you to bolt them on the side to side portion of the cradle, which will make your opening for parking narrower and tougher to get the boat started, but safer once the boat is partially inside the lift. These are best for pontoons or aluminum boats, they will almost certainly damage the gel-coat on V-hull boats if you hit them, but the trade off is that the damage should be far less than what would happen if you hit the lift frame or poke through the side of the lift and hit the dock poles with no guides at all- vertical pole guides are safer for V-hull boats, but generally only protect the four corners of the lift and not down the full length if your boat gets crooked while halfway in.

 

Our BOAT LIFT STEP comes with the same U-bolt brackets that the side guides come with, and have two hole options which allow it to fit either a 2"x5" or a 2"x6" side cradle beam. The boat lift step WILL NOT WORK on Shore Station Brand lifts or any other brand which has a horizontal bar on the side of the lift frame itself- it requires a V-cut lift frame (the outer boat lift frame itself, not the cradle, like the photos above) on the dock side to avoid interference as the step travels up and down with the cradle. Not all V-side lift frames will work either, especially if your side frame diagonals making the V meet in the middle (like the lift with the dark gray Tracker fishing boat in the pictures above) instead of closer to the corner of the lift- you may have to face the step inward or mount on the inside of the cradle to get it to clear, which will put it closer to your boat! This is simply a MOSTLY universal option- look at the pictures and make your own judgment on whether it will work and how it will be oriented on your lift, and where that will line up with your boat.

 

The vertical mounting tubes measure 32" tall, and has 20" of space between the angled support gussets and the bottom of the tube, so theoretically you can have 12-13" of vertical adjustability depending on the size of your lift cradle. The TITAN gray composite tread is 1'x3' and provides a grippy surface for confident loading and unloading. These are great for putting narrow boats on wide lifts as well, helping to bridge the gap to the boat without having to offset the bunks to one side of the lift.
