Lifting Systems for Marinas & Shipyards
Mobile boat hoists (travel lifts), straddle carriers, and crane systems configured for marine environments and shipyard operations—supported by U.S.-based parts and service.
Mobile Boat hoists
Boat Handling 30–1500 Tons
Mobile Boat Hoists (MBH), known as travel lifts are essential to modern marina and shipyard operations. US Hoists delivers custom-configured travel lifts manufactured by Cimolai Technology engineered to handle vessels ranging from recreational yachts to large commercial and government craft.
Each travel lift is designed around your site conditions, vessel mix, and operational workflow, with a focus on safety, long service life, and low-maintenance performance in demanding marine environments.
Clear width and beam configurations are tailored to your paths and waterfront constraints, ensuring efficient, repeatable lift operations.
- Custom width, height, and beam configurations
- Diesel and fully electric drive options
- All-wheel and advanced steering for tight yards
- Adjustable sling spacing for repeatable lifts
- Simplified maintenance with remote access
- Supported by US Hoists Corp., Parts & Service
Mobile straddle transporters
Heavy-Duty Shipyard Handling
Built on Cimolai Technology’s proven heavy-lift engineering and supported by US Hoists, mobile straddle transporters (MST) are engineered for demanding shipyard, ship repair, and refit operations across a wide range of industrial applications. Each straddle carrier is custom-designed to meet site-specific load capacities, dimensions, and operational requirements, with configurations available in rubber-tired gantry and rail-mounted formats.
Advanced features include precision electronic steering, rotatable lifting interfaces, and optional fully electric drive systems for zero-emission operation, delivering safe, efficient, and repeatable heavy-load handling in challenging industrial and waterfront environments.
- Rubber-tired gantry and rail configurations
- Custom load capacities, spans, and lift heights
- Precision electronic steering for complex routes
- Rotatable lifting interfaces for bulky loads
- Modular structures for specialized operations
- Optional electric, zero-emission configurations
Rail mounted boom cranes
Precision Shipyard Lifting
US Hoists, in partnership with Cimolai Technology, supplies high-performance rail-mounted boom cranes (RBC) and port crane solutions engineered for shipyard operations. Cimolai cranes are custom-designed to meet site-specific lifting capacities, outreach, and structural requirements, with scalable configurations including jib, overhead, and gantry cranes.
Built for reliability in harsh marine environments, these electrically driven crane systems deliver safe, precise, and repeatable lifting performance, long service life, and seamless integration alongside travel lifts and other vessel-handling equipment, supported by US Hoists’ experienced U.S.-based service team.
- Electrically driven rail-mounted boom cranes
- Level-luffing designs for precise load control
- Custom outreach, lifting capacity, and structures
- Continuous-duty, heavy-lift performance
- Designed for harsh marine environments
- Advanced control systems for smooth operation
- Long service life with minimal maintenance
- Compatible with new or existing rail systems
Mobile TRansporters
Efficient Yard & Storage Movement
Designed for controlled ground-level transport in complex waterfront environments, Mobile Boat Transporters and Flat-Bed Transporters (MBT /FBT) deliver precise handling of vessels and oversized loads across marinas and shipyards. Drawing on Cimolai Technology’s proven engineering and supported by US Hoists, each system is fully customizable with scalable load capacities, modular configurations, hydraulically adjustable tracks, and electronic all-wheel steering.
Optimized confined work areas, these solutions ensure safe, repeatable movement of boats, structures, and heavy components, improving workflow, safety, and operational flexibility in demanding marine and industrial environments.
- Mobile boat trolleys and flat-bed transporters
- Scalable for vessels and oversized loads
- Hydraulically adjustable tracks for hull variation
- Electronic all-wheel and multi-axle steering
- Modular designs for evolving yard layouts
- Optional self-propelled configurations
- Remote-control and intuitive operator interfaces
- Improves yard efficiency, safety, and flexibility
