Hi Lift Vertical Styles

Straight Up, Straight Down – A Lift for Deep or Changing Water Levels
The Hewitt Hi-Lift is an economical, direct vertical rise lift ideally suited for deeper water applications or sites where water levels may fluctuate. These lifts are based on simple, proven technology but are distinguished by Hewitt’s rock-solid construction and unique frame design, incorporating side bars that provide easier boat access and greater stability than typical “V”-style designs. While the competition’s adjustable side bars limit maximum lift height, Hewitt’s twelve different Hi-Lift models provide lifting capacities ranging from 1100 lbs to 10,000 lbs.

Cantilever Lifts

Simple, reliable design for boats and pontoons
The original Hewitt lift continues to be one of our most popular models. These rugged general purpose 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 require fewer moving parts for superior reliability and place less stress on pulleys and cables. In the lift’s fully raised position, cables carry no weight; the load is entirely supported by the frame. Corrosion resistant aluminum construction also assures low maintenance – no rust, no painting.

Hydraulic Lifts

Hydraulic Lift

The Ultimate for Speed, Convenience and Lifting Capacity
Hewitt hydraulic lifts offer the push-button convenience and remote control operation of our standard cantilever hydraulic models, plus faster cycle times and higher capacities, which range from 4400 lbs to a massive 24,100 lbs. All lifts have corrosion-resistant, all-aluminum frames and include a locking, water-resistant chest for housing the hydraulic pump and control system. With optional bracing and leg kits, these lifts can be used in water up to 10’ deep. All sizes are available in 220V AC and 12V or 24V DC battery powered models. A wide range of optional equipment is also available, including solar cell battery chargers, lighting kits, pump box stand, canopies and more. Lift heights for all models is 77-1/2” with the exception of Models 4400 and 6100 which are available in 54” and 76” lift heights. Hewitt hydraulic lifts are engineered to raise their maximum rated loads through the full arc of travel without hesitation. Hydraulics are optimized to provide the fastest operating speed in the industry without increasing pressure and over-stressing the pump.

Boat Port

Floating Lifts, a Deep Water Solution
The perfect companion for floating docks, floating lifts are ideal for deep water applications but can be used in as little as 4’ to 8’ of water (dependant on lift size). BoatPort lifts may be installed on almost any structurally sound aluminum, steel or wood floating dock that has an “L” or “U”-shaped configuration where there is at least one walkway finger or pier extending down the side of the boat. Lift operation requires access to a 115V AC receptacle. Optionally, a small portable generator or 24V battery may be used to power the pump lift. BoatPort lifts can also be installed on stationary dock provided water levels do not rise or fall more than a total of 16”.
