Dockside Cranes
Mobile boat handling without permanent waterfront construction. Backed by Summit Marine Lift’s local service and support.
Haul and launch without building a thing.
Not every facility can support the waterfront construction a fixed travel lift requires. The Pelican Lift mobile dockside crane solves that problem with an innovative, patented design that brings full hauling and launching capability to docks and facilities where standard equipment cannot operate.
Summit Marine Lift supplies and supports the full Pelican Lift lineup across New England. Whether you are expanding an existing marina, adding lift capability to a second location, or working around site constraints that rule out a travel lift, the Pelican Lift gives you a proven, flexible solution. We handle site consultation, delivery, and long-term service support.
