Boat & dock lifts in Florida

Cranes move boats in and out of the water, set boat lifts and place dock and seawall materials where trucks and barges can't reach. Waterfront jobs often need a crane with long reach because the crane can't get close to the water's edge.

What to tell the crane company

  • Boat length and weight, or the weight of the lift or materials
  • Distance from the nearest firm ground to the water
  • Seawall condition near the setup spot
  • Tide or access limits at your dock

Questions about boat & dock lifts

Can a crane set up next to my seawall?

Often not too close. Seawalls and soft waterfront ground may not carry a crane's outrigger loads, which is why waterfront lifts often need a longer reach. The crane company decides the setup spot.
