Air Actuated Boat Lifts
EZ Dock, Inc. announces the
introduction of air actuated boat lifts to its product line. The
air actuated lifts compliment the entire EZ Dock product line
of floating docks, PWC lifts, and winch-on boat lifts. The new
lifts accommodate inboard/outboard and pontoon boats weighing
up to 6000 lbs.
Technical Data
What makes this boat lift better than the competition
is the fact that there are no hydraulics involved. No environmentally
harmful oil can leak into the water. As you can see from the picture,
there is an air compressor (the white box), an air hose, and some
ballast tanks (the black boxes in the water). The system is mechanically
simple, and therefore reliable and easy to use.
The water level in your lake or river will never be too high nor
too low because the entire lift rises and lowers with the
water level.
The ballast tanks in the picture are full of air,
thus suspending the boat with their own buoyancy. When you are ready
to go out for some fun on the water, a valve is opened allowing
the tanks to flood, causing them to lose buoyancy. The boat settles
gently into the water, ready to be driven away.
When it's time to go to shore, the boat is parked
in between the vertical alignment posts, some valves are changed,
and the air pump is turned on. The air displaces the water out of
the tanks, giving the tanks buoyancy again. This buoyancy lifts
the boat to safety; clear of the water.
The frame the boat is sitting on is attached with
horizontally aligned pivot points, forming parallelograms. Since
the four bottom pivot points are all level with respect to one another,
the entire frame remains level. This keeps the boat level as it
traverses between its upper and lower positions, even if the ballast
tanks do not fill or empty evenly.
