Ship lifting platform

Cimolift by Cimolai Technology is a high-performance ship lifting system featuring a robust platform operated by electrically powered winches, engineered for safe and efficient vertical handling of boats.

Ship lifting platform

CIMOLIFT: COMPACT, SAFE VESSEL LIFTING

Ideal for launching and hauling-out operations, Cimolift offers a space-saving alternative where traditional boat hoists or trolleys aren’t practical.

Fully customizable in lifting capacity and platform size, it adapts to a wide range of vessels—from pleasure boats to large yachts—and can be equipped with advanced controls and remote operation for greater precision and operator safety.
Built for long-term reliability with minimal environmental impact, Cimolift is available in electric configurations that combine sustainability with industrial-grade performance.

High-performance anti-corrosion painting suitable for aggressive/corrosive marine conditions

Optional Features

Support arms with adjustable saddles for hull support and stability
Trestle to support different SWL and vessel dimensions (with adjustable lateral supports)
End locking system to control/limit platform motion and support transfer phases

Optional

SUPPORT ARMS

Customizable and submersible lateral supports that provide stability to the vessel’s sides during the docking operations performed on the platform.

TRESTLE

Designed to support different Safe Working Loads. They are suitable for use with transfer systems on rail or on tyres. The dimensions can be customized according to customer’s requirements and can be equipped.

END LOCKING SYSTEM

Activated from the control station, the system ensures the correct alignment between the platform rails and the rail installed on the shipyard area, making it easier and safer to move the loaded or unloaded transfer system from the platform to the shipyard.

TRANSFER SYSTEM

Self-propelled modular transfer system on tyres or on rails to meet customer’s requirements and shipyard’s layout.

HAULING-IN SYSTEM

Itprovides longitudinal pull and lateral control by means of trolleys on rail or a set of capstans. It is used to position the vessel on the submerged platform and to control it while it enters or leaves the ship lift basin so as to avoid any contact with the piers.
