Sunstream Launches Jack-Based LiftBar

Boat lift manufacturer Sunstream Boat Lifts has “raised the bar in lifting technology” with its brand-new LiftBar universal lifting innovation.

LiftBar is the first boat lift to incorporate a screw jack-based lifting mechanism that is all housed in one tube, delivering high speed, a hidden structure, no sway, increased reliability and enhanced “submergibility.” The lack of cable winders eliminates the need for cable-keepers and prevents tangling. LiftBar can be trickle-charged with 110 volts or solar power, and no underwater AC power means a safer waterfront experience.

Because of its contained design, the lift is submersible, which enables it to be installed out of sight at dock level and provides peace of mind in extreme environments. Having key components under an air bell cover protects it from flooding and backup power from the battery enables operation even if the dock power is off. The powerful 12-hp system provides speeds multiple times faster than traditional 220V motor lifts with gearboxes, and the inline motor with planetary gears offers a much quieter lifting and lowering experience. The entire lifting mechanism of the LiftBar is hidden within a 6- by 7-inch bar with contained hoses and no external powerpack that needs to sit on the dock.

Available in five sizes, LiftBar can accommodate vessels from 8,000 to 32,000 pounds. It is now available in piling lift, fixed dock and fabricated floating dock (concrete, wood and truss) configurations. Plastic modular dock and freestanding portable lift configurations will be released in the near future.
