Marine Forklifts

Wireless Remote Control for Carriage & Forks

The wireless remote control gives the operator full control of the carriage and forks when down on the dock, eliminating the need for a second person when launching and retrieving boats. The remote buttons also have two speeds controlled by how hard the button is depressed.

Customizable Lift Heights

All Hydro M_Drive forklifts are built around the needs of our customers and no two facilities are the same. Customized lift heights and/or negative drop provide you with the right machine for your yard and existing drystack.

Increased Gradeability

To ensure our machines can easily navigate any slope you may have in your yard we offer two levels of increased grade options. This allows the machine to work in all parts of the yard or marina.

Cameras

Optional camera systems provide maximum visibility to the operator. Most common is the hard-wired reverse camera mounted on the counterweight to help when backing up or maneuvering in tight spaces. Also available is a wireless camera mounted to the carriage for better visibility when reaching the top rack.

Galvanized Carriage and Forks

Hot dipped galvanizing provides the forks and carriage added protection and greatly reduces corrosion to the parts of the machine which see the most saltwater exposure.

Auto Lubrication

Lube canisters can be mounted to the upper mast rollers to ensure they are being properly greased and eliminating the need for a man basket to do so. This saves time and effort and the canisters last roughly 6 months.

Solid Tires

Eliminate the need for air compressors or additional services to keep your tires properly inflated by going with solid tires. Optional solid black or grey non-marking tires are available.

Wheelbases

Because no two facilities are the same, we offer multiple wheelbase configurations throughout our models. We also manufacture our own steer axles giving us the tightest turn radius in the industry. This all ensures that no matter the space restrictions we have a solution for you.

CE Compliance

Marine Travelift machines meet and exceed all standards to ensure safety and compliance for our global partners.

Inch Mode

With a touch of a button, the operator can switch between regular operating mode and inch mode. Inch mode is especially useful when pulling up to the rack or your well. When engaged it only allows the machine to inch forward no matter how much pressure is applied to the drive pedal, removing the risk of hitting the rack or wheel stops with any kind of damaging force.

Enclosed Cab

The enclosed cab provides shelter from cold, wind, and rain while still maintaining high visibility of the work area and vessel. The doors open backward to provide easy access to each side of the cab.

Extruded Fork Covers

These fork covers are heavy-duty extruded rubber which are low-slip and provide added protection to the boat hulls. They come in sections so the high wear areas can be replaced without having to replace the entire cover.

Load Moment Indicator (LMI)

The vessel size, position on the forks, and center of gravity all impact the forklift's capacity and stability. The LMI system calculates all the necessary values and displays the information in a green/yellow/red format, clearly showing the operator if a vessel is safe to lift.

Joystick Controls

We understand some operators prefer joystick controls, so we offer a variety of control layouts including combinations of dual-axis and single-axis joysticks.

Heavy Duty 4-Stage Mast

With options for heights reaching 45', while still maintaining corresponding lift capacities. The 4-stage mast reduces overall collapsed height, making it a great fit for indoor storage and where shorter doorways are already in place.
