Fully electric boat hoist

The fully electric mobile hoist from Boat Lift is a revolutionary project, pioneering a brand-new path in handling and lifting vessels. The BL15TLE, with a capacity of 15 tons, is capable of opening up an entire market oriented towards sustainability and zero-emissions targets for marinas.

The exponential development in terms of electric component performances has finally made it possible to build equipment able to meet the needs of marina operators, especially concerning the main requirement for electrically-powered machinery: battery runtime.

A close co-operation with the suppliers has enabled Boat Lift to introduce a mobile hoist capable of delivering a non-stop day shift. In addition, the machine is equipped with an on-board battery charger that allows a 0-100% recharge cycle in a time of just two hours.

Interest in the new model has been boosted by the success of the Italian manufacturer’s successful introduction of electric versions of its self-propelled boat trailers.

Sheet piling

An innovative and environmentallyfriendly piling solution called Prolock Delta has been developed by Profextru Productie BV of The Netherlands. The product’s walls are made from recycled and recyclable plastic and it is suitable for a variety of applications, providing a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional materials such as steel piling and mixed-in-place walls.

Quick to install, Prolock Delta has a low weight and symmetrical design. The sealing walls can therefore be quickly installed and easily vibrated into the soil using light equipment, thus preventing damage to surrounding homes and buildings. They can be positioned using various methods such as by using a base plank or steel guide pipes.

Unique watertight interlocking Prolock Delta sheet piling also feature a unique sealing lip, which reduces the rate of leakage to the minimum possible.

They can be supplied in any length up to 12 metres, providing a tailormade solution for every situation.
