Kropf delivers first all-electric boat hoist
Kropf Industrial, manufacturer of the industry-leading Conolift line of boat handling equipment, reveals that its first all-electric travel lift is now in service at a yacht club in Ontario, Canada.
Claimed to be a first for North America, this all-electric 40-ton capacity lift has already been through a rigorous testing programme at Kropf’s facility. It is now being utilised by a Toronto-area marine facility for haul-out and launch operations, providing opportunities for final refinements and demonstrating the performance of the unit in a range of conditions. To date, the lift has exceeded expectations for ease of use, reliability, battery life and low charging times.
The all-electric design completely eliminates an internal combustion engine and a hydraulic system, which results in a machine that is emissions and spills free. Reliable, proven technologies were utilised throughout the design process, ensuring safe, long-term operations and ease of maintenance and service.
The lift is a fully-featured machine with all of the options available on a diesel-powered unit, including proportional controls, two-speed winches, sling positioners and fully radio-remote operation. Diagnostics, machine status updates and service are simplified through use of a large external touchscreen, and the machine can be remotely diagnosed and serviced through connection to a Wi-Fi network.
The advanced all-electric design benefits from Conolift’s proven fabrication methods, and is robust with high-quality finish. The machine offers quiet and safe operation, without the risk of spills, and with lower service requirements than a traditional diesel/hydraulic unit.
