Swimming platform lift system

I woonder if someone can recommend good hydraulic lift system for swimming platform, for big boat. Thanks.

 

G'day Alik,

No I don't, but I would be interested to know how and where you would fit one.

Poida you forgot to ask why, so I will,----why.

Is this a swim platform that lowers a swimmer into the water gently and then recovers them when they have finished. The mind boggles.

Is this for incapacitated/ geriatric/ obese swimmers?

Or people who are too rich to climb a ladder.

 

Awww, frosty, you have such a way with words.
Luv ya work!
Really,its a front. swimmers? Or heavy contraband?
Maybe his transom is 10' high. Pretty hard too lift scuba up a 10' vert cliff.

 

Alik are we talking vertical lift or rotating up. Most have to be engineered to the transom of the boat in question.

 

I mean vertical lift.

 

What does it have to lift?
Tender? etc?, If so what sort of weight?

 

To manufacture something like this as a bolt on or even build in would be unlikey to fit another. So many variations in dimension.

However at the Marina where I am at the top of malacca straits I see many super yachts on there way around the world or passaging to East -West.

I have noticed that they usually have wonderfull access to the sea from the stern. In some case maybe only 6 inches.

My attention was attracted to this because I would imagine this area would be totaly awash at sea.

A vertical lift on these large ones I have not seen. There is one in the 50 foot range that has a lift with a RIB on it and I have to say that it looks ugly on this boat.

Most super yachts lift/crane the RIB's boats of all descriptions up and onto the deck.

You wouldnt want to maintain something on the transom whilst on the way.

 

Have to lift jet ski, or be lowered down to provide easy from water access for divers. This is customer's requirement, not ours
We will have a crane for RIB also.

 

There's nothing uncommon in this - and given the opportunity, I'd certainly include a 'lift' on my stern...
(Don't even think it Frosty...)

There are any number of manufacturers -

http://www.floridabowthrusters.com/swimplatforms.htm I think supply Searay

http://www.tntlifts.com/ are one of the better known ones

http://www.nauticexpo.com/scripts/go_to_web.php is another, though I've not seen these particular ones before

 

Thanks!

 

Right got it now. So it only has a lift of 300 - 400mm, just below to just above the water line. I thought you wanted something that was going to raise right up to the top of the transom.

Will your last link didn't work for me.

Oh --I was thinking of bigger boats.

The last super yacht I saw come in was a boat called "Senses" her stern end/ transom collapsed to accomodate a 40 foot nelson that drove up inside it.

She had a two sailing yachts on the top deck and stuff i forget down on the first. And a helecopter.

 

hi guy's, i've seen that searay platform demonstrated on a show and liked it.
one of the motor supercats had a huge platform lifting from sciccor like jacks on the hulls.
to lift only a jetski up there are systems that work separate from under and after the platform.
