Boat lifts have always been known for their function, not their form. Sunstream’s SLX boat lifts are looking to change that mindset.

SunLift SLX boat lifts are free-standing and adjustable, with a minimalist design.

Sunstream boat Lifts says its SunLift SLX range offers the world’s only adjustable, free-standing hydraulic boat lifts. The lifts reportedly accommodate everything from PWC to 50-plus-foot boats weighing up to 30,000 pounds. ¶ The batterypowered lifts draw 185 amps; they rely on a trickle-charge system (solar or AC) and can be appcontrolled via Bluetooth. The SLX lifts work in fresh and salt water, and all hydraulic cylinders and hoses are stainless steel. Each lift has 6 feet, 6 inches of travel and can fit into berths with depths that are mere inches up to 21 feet. ¶ Designing a skinny-water-friendly system wasn’t easy, says Sunstream CEO Ken Hey, but the company added a joggle—or notch—below the vertically traveling H-frame’s after beam. ¶ “The joggle can be below the mud,” Hey says, adding that the joggle also accommodates a wide range of vessels. ¶ Sunstream makes a variety of hull-supporting bunks, and custom fabrications are available.
