The original Hewitt cantilever boat and pontoon lift continues to be one of our most popular lifts. These rugged general purpose electric or manual boat lifts have a natural mechanical advantage that actually makes operation easier as the boat is raised higher. Cantilever lifts also have a long history of trouble-free performance. They have fewer moving parts for superior reliability and place less stress on pulleys and cables. Corrosion resistant aluminum construction also assures low maintenance – no rust, no painting. Our cantilever lift design is ideal for boats, pontoons, jet skis, even smaller paddle boats.
