Boat Lift Installation for Delray Beach waterfront properties
We work with boatlift manufacturers to provide the boat or PWC lift that suits your needs best, on a new Delray Beach dock or one you already have. Langley Coastal specializes in 4-8 post cradle lifts from 6,000 lb to 60,000 lb capacity, and elevator lifts from 6,000 lb to 25,000 lb.
Which lift fits comes down to the boat, the dock it mounts to and the water it sits in. On a new dock the lift pilings are driven with the dock pilings; on an existing dock the pilings are what decide whether the lift mounts to them or new ones go in beside it.
We also provide maintenance and repair for all lift systems, and the pilings a lift stands on are our own trade. More about boat lift installation.
