  • INNOVATION

    Sunstream has a rich heritage of innovation and it continues to drive us today more than ever. We’re boaters too and we believed boating could be more fun and less hassle.

    View SunLift Legacy for craft 5000lbs and less.

  • CUSTOM BOAT FIT

    The SunLift X is the only hydraulic lift that has adjustable width bunks to get the ideal boat fit. The boat height over water can be set with the adjustable lifting range. The frame can also be shifted laterally to minimize the distance of the boat to the dock for safest boarding.

  • PREMIUM HYDRAULICS

    The hydraulic system is the heart of a hydraulic lift and is key for reliability and performance. The SunLift X does not compromise with superior durability with all stainless steel cylinders with SoftStop™, a patented shaft boot, double braid stainless hoses, and stainless fittings. The SunLift X has the best performance with the premium pressure balance pump (versus a basic fixed gear pump) that has up to 20% greater efficiency, higher speed, quieter sound, and does not lose lifting capacity over time. The American built blue anodized power unit has premium German valves and a unique pressure relief at the bottom prevents hydraulic lock. The system uses a non-oil, water soluble SunFluid, which is far more durable against water intrusion versus oil.  

  • MODERN FRAME

    The SunLift X modern frame has a beauty that is worthy of displaying your boat. The frame has superior stiffness with the cylinders aligned with frame, fewer bolts, and a setbolt to remove movement in the leg socket. The Sunstream SunLift X has the best range of specifications on the market, with the highest lifting range, shallowest water depth, fastest speed, and capacities to 30,000lbs.

  • TECHNOLOGY

    Introducing the Sunstream Bluetooth® transmitter and smartphone app. Now it’s even more convenient to control your Sunstream boat lift with the remote that’s always with you. The two-way communication transfers data to and from a smartphone and the Sunstream lift, enabling the app to display the current voltage, charging status, battery health, performance data and diagnostic data, as well as provide basic Up and Down functionality. Another industry first, from the leaders in boat lift innovation.

SunLift X Frequently Asked Questions

SunLift X is a free-standing lift that combines premium hydraulics, adjustable bunks precise boat fit, SoftStop Technology for smooth operation, flexible and durable SuperBunks to cushion the hull, and impressive lifting range.

The SunLift X has adjustable width bunks to achieve ideal boat fit.  The frame can also shift laterally to minimize the distance between the boat and dock to allow for safe boarding. The SuperBunks™ act as spring beams to spread the load over the entire bunk, creating a comfortable resting spot for your boat without pressure points.

Yes, SunLift X is designed for both saltwater and freshwater.  Sacrificial zincs are required for saltwater use, like aluminum boats.

SunLift X can be installed in water depths up to 21’ with deep water bracing accessory.

SunLift X stays in the upright position via an over-center locking system.

The SunLift X product range includes models with lifting ranges of 5000lbs – 30,000lbs.  The SunLift Legacy product line includes models with capacities under 5,000lbs, including the 2,000lb capacity SunLift Mini, ideal for PWC’s and small craft.

The SunLift X product line includes models that require as little as 3” of minimum water depth under the boat keel with the -SW model.

SunLift X batteries are powered by solar or AC charging

The SunLift X has up to 6.4’ of lifting range, which accommodates water fluctuations during the boating season of up to approx. 4.5 ft.   If you have more than 4.5ft of fluctuation during your boating season, then consider the FloatLift, Helix2-P or LiftBar.

Yes, the SunLiftX can be controlled using the Sunstream smartphone app.

It is best to follow your local Sunstream dealer’s advice on winter weather care, since this depends on the local conditions and how ice shifts.  In some markets, customers will use ‘bubblers’ or ‘Ice eaters’ to keep ice from freezing on the lift.   If the ice typically does not get very thick, some users lower their SunLift under the ice just before freezing and raise right after.

It is not recommended to store a boat on  any lift during a hurricane because excessive tide surge could float the boat off the lift.

Lower the lift to the bottom position to safeguard it from floating debris. Disconnect hydraulic disconnects from powerpack. Move powerpack box to safe/ dry place.

When reloading the boat afterwards, please be sure that the boat is not holding excess water or any other debris that might add weight or increase lift capacity requirements beyond range.

Please note that hurricanes, severe weather, and other environmental conditions are considered Acts of God. Damage resulting from these conditions—including damage to the lift and/or vessel is not covered under warranty and remains solely the responsibility and discretion of the property owner.
