LiftBar™ is the first boat lift to incorporate a screw jack-based lifting mechanism fully within an aluminum tube to deliver a hidden structure, no sway, higher speeds, increased reliability and enhanced submergibility. 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. The powerful 6hp motor provides speeds multiple times faster than traditional 220v motor lifts with gearboxes and the inline motor with planetary gears delivers a much quieter lifting and lowering experience. The universal design attaches to pilings, fixed docks, and integrates into floating docks.  

LiftBar's simplistic design of a motor turning a lead screw without the use of limit switches, has resulted in superior reliability. Having key components under an air bell covers protects from flooding and backup power from the battery enables operation even if the dock power is off.  Since the cable is pulled by a jack screw and not wound on a spindle, the cables will not tangle if unloaded, ensuring smooth operation and eliminates the need for cable-keepers.

The entire lifting mechanism of the LiftBar is hidden within a 6" x 7" bar with contained hoses and no external powerpack that needs to sit on the dock. The top lid has traction stripes, matching the details of the lifting cradle.   (Fixed dock / piling version with Helix-P shown here).

Twin 3hp DC motors turn a lead screw similar to a garage door opener mechanism.  The battery is trickle charged by low amp 110V or solar power and is advantageous over high amp 220V since it does not require expensive high amp 220V, does not have AC power underwater, does not require an electrician for installation, and has built in backup power in case of a power outage.

LiftBar has been designed for easy and fast installation and can be mounted on piles at dock level or built into your dock without pilings.  The bar can also be mounted above the dock to create a practical dock bench. Each bar is light enough to handle by hand without a crane or workboat   (Floating dock version shown here).
