How does the up-pressure locking-arm mechanism improve my boat lift?
Our patented up-pressure locking-arm mechanism secures the lift in the “up” position, preventing unintended lowering due to water movement. This enhances stability and overall boat protection.
What materials are used to build Carolina Boat Lifts?
