A Boat Lift Manufacturer at the Forefront of ShoreFront

Who we are is what defines us. Years of experience has made ShoreStation® what it is today; the most trusted brand of boat lifts and docks!

Heritage

Through nearly 60 years of making boat lifts and docks, we have designed and redesigned our docks to be one of the best possible product for an ever-changing industry. Every new product and innovation is driven by the goal of helping our customers maximize their time on the water and enjoy the waterfront lifestyle.

Why ShoreStation®?

When founder Byron Godbersen designed the first ShoreStation back in 1959, he engineered it to work smarter than other boat lifts, but he also did one other thing – he over-built it. Heavier materials, stronger winches, better cables. Why all the fuss? Well, Byron believed that weekends at the lake should be spent relaxing with the family, not fixing broken equipment. With ShoreStation’s high-quality boat lifts and docks, you can relax and spend your weekends on the water doing what you love.

History

• Midwest Industries Inc. was founded in 1954 in Ida Grove, Iowa.

• Founder Byron Godbersen's first invention, the Bolster lift, used hydraulics to tilt grain bins that had been traditionally emptied by hand. The wildly successful product sparked an entire line of Midwest farm equipment.

• Today production is focused exclusively on ShoreLand'r® Trailers and ShoreStation® Lakefront Systems.

• The company's Ida Grove headquarters includes a 340,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, distribution warehouse, convention center and private test lake. Midwest employs over 300 people and their products are distributed throughout the U.S. and Canada, and internationally to countries in Europe and Asia. A full list of ShoreStation dealers can be found here.
