Description
The 8,000 lb. Galvanized 4-Piling Boat Lift is the perfect solution for boat owners who need a reliable and sturdy lift for their boats. This lift is designed to mount on the tops of four dock pilings and features a 15 ft. single cable straight-line configuration that provides a lift capacity rating of 8,000 lbs.
This boat lift has an all-welded design that ensures maximum strength and durability. The hot-dipped galvanized finish adds an extra layer of protection against rust and corrosion, making it suitable for use in both saltwater and freshwater environments. Invest in the 8,000 lb. Galvanized 4-Piling Boat Lift and enjoy the convenience and peace of mind that come with a high-quality boat lift that is built to last.
Please note that the piling mount bolts and cradle bunks are not included with the lift.

CRADLE WIDTH MEASUREMENT
The 6,000 lb. galvanized boat lift comes with standard 12 ft. 6 in. cradle beams. If your pilings are already installed, it is very important to get an accurate center-to-center measurement between the pilings. This measurement will determine the cradle length you will need to order. If the center-to-center measurement is 12 ft. 6 in., then you will need a cradle length of 12 ft. 6 in. If the correct length of boat cradles are not installed there can be issues with how the boat lift operates.
PILING DEPTH
The 8 in. pilings need to be installed with sufficient seabed penetration to support the weight of the boat. Pilings must be square and level to each other. The two drive-end pilings (the pipings where the boat hoists are mounted) should be 6 in. shorter than the other two pilings. Any movement of the pilings after installation will adversely affect boat lift operations and safety.
A. HOIST SECUREMENT
BH-USA flat-plate boat hoists are attached to the top beam with 1/2 in x 1 1/2 in bolts (included). Initially, mount the back of the flat-plate cover between the gear plate and the top beam. Align the hole in the drive pipe with the hole in the large gear sleeve. Set the gear sleeve bolt in place and snap the front cover into the back cover.
B. BOAT HOIST CONTROL CABLE
One of the flat-plate boat hoists is wired with an extra cable (45 ft) so that both drum switches can be mounted side-by-side. It is not recommended to wire both flat-plate hoists to one drum switch. For double motorboat lifts, we recommend using the GEM Remotes GR2 double motorboat lift remote. One to two boat lift motors can be operated simultaneously. It was designed to operate this type of lift.
C. TOP BEAM SECUREMENT
Utilize lag or through bolts to secure the top beams to the pilings. Piling attachment bolts are not included.
D. CABLE INSTALLATION
The 10,000 lb & 12,000 lb galvanized boat lifts will come with 123 ft of boat lift cable. Unlike the 6,000 lb and 8,000 lb beams, the 10,000 lb & 12,000 lb beams have deadman brackets welded to each beam to attach your boat lift cable. Compounding blocks are included with boat cradles.
Installation is required. This unit should be assembled by experienced contractors or professionals familiar with boat hoist assembly and installation. Improper installation and maintenance may void the manufacturer’s warranty. The assembly/use instructions should be read and examined before operation.
