If you own a boat on Old Hickory Lake, Percy Priest Lake, or anywhere along the Cumberland River, protecting your investment starts at the dock. For waterfront property owners across Middle Tennessee, one name keeps coming up when it comes to boat lifts: HydroHoist boat lifts.
At Cumberland Marine Works LLC, we are an authorized HydroHoist dealer and installer, providing new and pre-owned HydroHoist boat lift sales and service across Middle Tennessee, Southern Kentucky, and Northern Alabama. Here is what makes HydroHoist stand out.
HydroHoist Has Been Building Boat Lifts Since 1964
HydroHoist has been manufacturing boat lifts since 1964. The company’s inventor was a marina owner and boater himself, and his aim was to care for the boat properly, make life easier for the boater, and complement the dock structure rather than complicate it. That aim still shapes how HydroHoist lifts are designed today.
HydroHoist boat lifts use air-filled chambers to raise and lower your boat while the lift stays on the water.
Built for Your Boat and Your Dock
One of the most common questions we hear is whether a lift will work with a specific dock. HydroHoist lifts can be customized for fixed and floating docks, marina slips, finger piers, and bulkheads. Cumberland Marine Works offers HydroHoist lifts in capacities from 5,000 lbs up to 32,000 lbs. The right size depends on your boat’s dry weight, fuel, gear, and dimensions, along with your dock and waterfront.
HydroHoist’s engineering staff designs its lifts to support your boat correctly and safely, with as little effect on your dock or mooring as possible. Our boat lift installation guide walks through each step, from choosing the right lift and assessing your dock to checking the lift after installation.
If your dock needs work before a lift can go in, Cumberland Marine Works provides boat dock repair and remodeling, including dock reinforcements for lift systems. After installation, many customers add dock accessories such as fenders, bumpers, centering guides, and bow guides for added safety and convenience.
The HarborHoist: Built for Versatility
The HarborHoist was built to withstand the effects of brackish and saltwater while maintaining quality performance, and it is designed for fresh and saltwater use. It can be tied to a dock or pilings using ropes or a conventional mooring system, which gives you flexibility in how it is set up on your waterfront.
HydroHoist Warranty and Product Registration
HydroHoist provides warranty information and product registration on its website. Before you buy, review the HydroHoist warranty details so you know what is covered, and register your lift once it is installed.
