Boat hoist build idea

[W.olly]

If you do not want cross beams, to stop the two uprights meeting each other under load, do you have enough room for guy lines even if installed only when lifting?

If it is only for this specific boat, concrete in a steel socket a lot closer to the hull and only install the uprights when you want to lift something. That way, the uprights do not need to cope with as much bending stress caused by the 1m overhang.

One winch each end with a couple of jockey pulleys is cheaper than two winches each end and means you only have to control two items, not four, to ensure it lifts level.

no room for side supports of cable or beam. an dyes like the pulley idea, ill take that one

How often will it get used?

Pay someone who can would be my ideal solution for your problem

I’d want a hoist on each post. Gives much more control. And I’d go with chain blocks, again for more control. I used to work in a boat yard. Got quite good at working several chain hoists at the same time. It’s not a job to rush really.

Not having a boat could be the Achilles heel to this master plan

I think @Parm is sensible enough not to play with boats.

I chose women, that didn’t work out either

But ! If @barking mat purchased the lift for you. You would then be able to get a boat, lift and move it to somewhere that would not pose the getting wet issue.

I can’t swim. Getting a boat isn’t a good idea in my world

You'll float, life jacket. PPE.

that’s why you need a travel lift all the fun of a boat but no water required

Could you (or a professional firm) construct a temporary scaffold?

Use that to get it on to blocks. Bring them back when you need it back on the trailer.

We used to have this at the club, it was mobile and used turfers for lifting but with the cost annual testing we ended up scrapping it as it didn't get enough use.
Not good pictures but my boat only just fitted in and the top did deflect in a little.
I used it to lift my boat from the launching trolley to drop the lift keel into a hole I dug below.

Atleast a dozen times ayear.

That is the plan lifting gear on each corner. And the on ei sued in a yard a few times uses block n tackle and as you say its better control. Works a terat.

I am just going with each post having top supports but front ( atleast ) and back removable.
