Mobile boat hoist

We design and manufacture custom mobile boat hoists for shipyards, marinas, and boat storage facilities, covering the full range of lifting capacities—from 25/30 tons up to 1,500 tons—for safe, efficient yacht and superyacht handling.
Mobile boat hoist

Engineered for performance

Configure capacity, wheelbase, slings, and control modes to match your vessels and layout.

Each mobile boat hoist is engineered for precision, strength, and reliability in heavy-duty lifting. Every detail is designed to adapt to your specific needs: from configurable capacity, wheelbase, slings, and control modes to adjustable width and height for perfect alignment with different vessel dimensions.



Advanced alignment systems ensure balanced load distribution and structural safety, while the integration of electronic steering, multiple control modes, and automation features enables smooth maneuvering even in confined spaces. Each model can be customized in capacity, dimensions and control options to match specific client requirements

SLINGS

Customizable lengths, splitting and protections against cuts

BLOCK ADJUSTMENT

Customizable block adjustment for excellent handling capability

U-BEAM

Backward top beam for increased clearance

STRUCTURE

100% manufactured in Cimolai Technology’s workshops in Italy, steel plates come exclusively from primary European Companies. The structure is designed as per the latest FEM and UNI EN standards and is made of box girders with inner stiffening elements, optimizing the structural resistance.

OPERATOR INTERFACE

User-friendly touchscreen display in a rugged IP65/ IP66 enclosure, placed on the power unit for onsite machine setting and diagnosis. Supervision of the machine also possible remotely via smartphones, tablets, and computers

RUBBER TIRES

Suitable for heavy-duty work conditions. Air inflated, water or foam filled

BOLTED FLANGE

Transversal beam prearrangement for easy future width modification

RUBBER TIRES

HYDROSTATIC WHEEL DRIVE

The hydrostatic 2-speed drive ensures stepless speed control for highly sensitive and smooth operations. Engine rpm is reduced, resulting in optimised fuel consumption. Each wheel is independently driven, improving the manoeuvrability and reducing wear and tear of each tyre

OPERATOR INTERFACE

User-friendly touchscreen display in a rugged IP65/ IP66 enclosure, placed on the power unit for onsite machine setting and diagnosis

POWER UNITS

Sound-proofed power unit(s) with large inspection lids for easy access and maintenance

PATENTED BLOCK ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM LSL LIMITLESS SLIDING LANE

PATENTED system with all the blocks running on the same sliding lane, to adjust the position of the lifting points all along the upper beams. Their positions are electronically tracked by the PLC via electronic sensors

Same power, zero emissions.

Fully Electric version for a more sustainable industry

Designed for shipyards and marinas aiming to reduce environmental impact without compromising performance, our full electric boat hoists deliver high efficiency and zero local emissions.
All key functions—wheel drives, winches, slew drives, and trolleys—are powered by electric motors, ensuring smooth handling and reliable operations in the yard.

Electric boat hoists help reduce operating and maintenance costs by eliminating engine oil, filters, and routine servicing typical of combustion engines.
Their quieter operation improves working conditions, while the electric drive delivers smoother, more precise control for lifting, transport, and boat storage in the yard.
As a zero-emission solution, they support sustainability targets and compliance in ports and marinas with stricter environmental requirements, and in some regions they may also qualify for tax incentives or government rebates.

Smart design, flexible performance.

The telescopic beam adapts to each vessel and yard configuration, maximizing space, efficiency, and versatility.

The telescopic crossbeam version of our boat hoists allows you to increase or reduce the track width quickly and accurately.

A key advantage is the ability to reduce the track width even at full load, with the boat suspended, enabling a fast switch from the open to the closed configuration without intermediate steps.

This makes it easier and faster to move through tight spaces and optimize storage, especially for smaller boats.

The telescopic system is built with two hollow square box-section tubes (male and female) that slide into each other to vary the beam width.

The male section features sliding pads on all four sides, stainless-steel clad, running on dedicated guides in the female section—ensuring low-friction operation, reliable alignment, and high structural strength.

HYDRAULICALLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK

Telescopic transversal beam to vary the machine's track (with load suspended) and then fit to different dock spans, to enter shed doors and to optimize parking space
