Amphibious Machines
Haul and launch on ramps, slopes, and inclined planes where a standard travel lift cannot reach. Backed by Summit Marine Lift’s local service and support.
Where the yard ends, the Croc Lift begins.
Not every facility has a towing and launching tank. For boatyards operating off ramps or inclined planes, amphibious machines offer a purpose-built alternative for hauling and launching operations that standard travel lifts cannot perform.
Summit Marine Lift offers the Boat Lift Croc Lift series, the industry’s leading amphibious trailer and travel lift lineup. Each unit is tailor-made to your specific yard conditions, including slope angle, terrain characteristics, vessel types, and available space. As your authorized local dealer, we handle site consultation, delivery, and ongoing service support across New England.
AMPHIBIOUS TRAILERS
Lift boats from water. Move them on land. One machine.
The Croc Lift amphibious trailer is designed for single-hulls and catamarans. Its gripping central and lateral points, along with patented hull supports, allow boats to be lifted directly from the water without stressing the hull. On land, the trailer delivers the same maneuverability and storage optimization you expect from a Boat Lift self-propelled trailer.
