"The Patchogue Fire Department located in Suffolk County, NY recently purchased a ShoreStation Hydraulic boat lift. From start to finish everything went without a hitch. The lift is quick, versatile, and very well made. The lift system allows our boats to deploy quickly and easily, to the large section of waterfront that our district handles. We respond to various types of water emergencies all year long and this lift has proven its working ability. Most recently we were called to a structure fire, across the bay to Fire Island. Our boat just about beat the fire department - that is stationed on the island where the fire was.

We want to thank you for making a reliable piece of equipment that was easy to assemble and that is easy to use. We highly recommend this lift to any waterfront department, agency or municipality looking to save time or deploy quickly."

"My name is Roger Cunningham and I am the owner of The Bed Store chain of mattress stores in Knoxville, TN. I recently had a new boat house and dock built and the builder highly recommended a "new" lift technology by ShoreStation that would be a "game changer" over my previous cable lift system. I authorized him to install two lifts: one for my 19' Sea Ray and the other for our 26' Premier Pontoon boat. UNBELIEVABLE. Noise FREE! Remote units so when I drive my boats up on the lifts I simply push a button and walk away. The lift is set to automatically lift the boat to the proper position and does so quietly and effortlessly. The lifts are hidden in the attic above the boathouse and therefore no unsightly motors. They utilize hydraulic lift system that operates on two marine grade batteries also concealed in the attic above the boats. My neighbors still using the old lift systems are amazed. Brad Davis, our field rep has been exceptional in providing service and information concerning our new systems. I highly recommend that you consider the ShoreStation hydraulic lifts in your new or existing boat houses."

"I heard about the ShoreStation hydraulic lift and immediately began researching all of the alternatives for boat lifts as I was wanting my boat lift to operate at the same level to compliment my new boat being delivered from the factory. Of course the lift had to be fast, quiet and reliable, and the ShoreStation exceeded the competitors in all of those categories.

We also were very specific about not wanting tall pilings obstructing our view or taking away from the beauty of our dock and home. The ShoreStation hydraulic lift was the only lift on the market that allowed us to keep our lift (and pilings) at dock level for a super clean appearance!

Lastly, I truly have enjoyed working with this family owned company and couldn't be more pleased with the service I have received from them. The ShoreStation hydraulic lift definitely cost a bit more on the front end, however every time I use the lift or see our home from the water, I am getting a return on my investment that is well worth the incremental expense over traditional lift products. I would recommend anyone looking for long‐term value in a boat lift to give this lift a serious look."

"Fast, easy to use and maintenance free, I love my new boat lift. The remote makes it great so I can lift as I enter the boat house without having to "adjust" the boat around and since we use the boat quite often the fast speed to launch and lift are really nice as well. Best accessory to my boat in my 20+ years as a pro wakeboarder!"

"I have had the privilege of representing and installing the ShoreStation Hydraulic lift in Rockport, TX. I was initially intrigued because ShoreStation has such a well-known brand and reputation for taking care of its dealers. I have found this to be the case and more! Eric Johnson (National Sales Manager) has been great to work with and is always willing to provide whatever support I need, including talking directly to my customers. The product itself is bar none the best on the market in terms of speed, ease of installation, low maintenance, and reliability. I have recently installed two systems for famous country artist George Strait, and it has since created quote the "buzz" in my local region and everyone is asking about it. To say the least, it has brought more customers my way and helped differentiate my business."

"In October of 2013, I installed my very first Hydraulic Piling Mount lift for one of my customers. I have extensive experience with traditional "pole winding" lifts, and I have found ShoreStation to be the easiest and quickest install I have ever done. Brad Davis (Regional Sales Manager – Tennessee) and Jon Devitt (VP of Engineering) were extremely helpful and hands-on for the first install. The customer service I have been given is nothing short of amazing, and I can call at any given time of day or week and will get a response within minutes. The hydraulic 24volt DC powered lift has really opened up a lot of new doors for my business in Eastern Tennessee. By not having to run power to the dock, it is a huge cost savings for the customer, and the lift itself is virtually maintenance free. By having the first install in a high traffic area, it has turned heads and brought more customers to my door step. The speed of this hydraulic lift along with all the safety features is what is most impressive. In addition, it carries an industry-leading 15-year warranty (including cables) which no other boat lift manufacturer on the market can compete with. To sum it up, this is the best boat lift on the market and I look forward to putting a lot more in and working with ShoreStation for years to come!"

"We built a highly customized ShoreStation hydraulic boat lift because we found their technology and quality to be superior to anything else. ShoreStation was very helpful and assisted in the design beyond my expectations. The project came out great and my customer was extremely happy with the results. Now I have other clients inquiring about similar projects!"

"My rationale for purchasing a boat lift was fairly straight forward; I keep my Sea Ray 320 in the brackish waters off the Chesapeake Bay so have to worry about everything from algae to barnacles, galvanic corrosion and bottom maintenance to winter boat storage. A boat lift would provide the answer to all of these challenges. So then it came down to selecting the best lift for my requirements. I needed a lift that could easily carry my 16,000lbs+ load with room for growth. I also wanted the lift to be reliable and low maintenance. My slip is 120 ft. from shore power and I'd read the stories of long expensive power runs and the electric motors that had trouble lifting boats half my weight. That had me looking for alternatives.

So with research in hand, I went to the Annapolis Boat Show with the intent of finding my lift. After looking at all the options there, it was an easy choice for me to go with the 20,000lbs. lift built by ShoreStation. First and foremost, the ShoreStation lift design was simply the most elegant solution to the problem: A hydraulic lifting system that didn't require long lengths of cable tightly wrapped around a drum. No cable overwrap or fatigue to worry about. ShoreStation's 15-year warranty on both the hydraulic ram and the cable reflects the simplicity and robustness of the design. Installation could not have been easier as the hydraulic pump is a direct current (DC) motor which runs on batteries. Two deep cycle 12V batteries run the lift and I had the option of using a 110V battery tender or a solar panel to keep them topped off. Because of this, I didn't have to pay an electrician several thousand dollars to install a marine-grade 120ft. run of AC power out to my slip and I don't have to worry about stalled AC motors when lifting my boat.

Finally there's the comfort-factor of buying from ShoreStation. I'll admit that I hadn't heard of the company before starting my research, but their experience in the marine industry goes back over 50 years and their facility and manufacturing capabilities are truly impressive. Throughout the selection process, manufacturing and installation, I've had an excellent experience with the staff and take comfort that there's a substantial company standing behind my lift. Here's the bottom line; I have three neighbors with three different lifts that I've seen operate and could have purchased. I chose ShoreStation then and if I had it to do over again, I'd still select a ShoreStation lift."

"In the spring of 2014, I had a dock built in back of my house which is on Ft. Loudoun Lake in Knoxville, TN. At the time I had very little experience with docks and boats, much less specifics concerning boat lifts. The company that built my dock recommended the ShoreStation Lift and introduced me to the product and some of the staff at our local boat show.

To say I was impressed is an understatement and I knew that was the lift I wanted. After a full summer of flawless operation, I could not be happier with the lift or the followup I have gotten from the company! Not only does the lift wok perfectly, but except for small cables, it is invisible with all equipment including the motors completely out of sight. The lift is quiet and extremely fast! Since this was my first lift, I didn't realize how much better than the competition this lift was until I started seeing other lifts at other docks - what a difference! Also, nearly everyone that has any knowledge of boating, comments on both performance and appearance of the lift.

I would highly recommend this product and would not hesitate to buy it again."

"Very impressed with this lift & service after 5 years of ownership. Fast & quiet. South LA, saltwater environment. "

"Our ShoreStation has been a part of many family memories at Lake Waconda! Love supporting a business in my hometown; excellent products. ❤️🚤

"While ShoreStation Hydraulic Lifts are known for their speed and reliability, DC power is the brawn behind both of these benefits. Marine deep-cycle batteries may be maintained by a solar panel, transforming a boat lift into an environmentally friendly and electrically safe hydraulic system that is economical to install and simple to operate. Spirit Airlines Captain Eric Sager, with the help of Bob Hut at Ocean One Docks and Boat Lifts, in Lantana, FL recently installed a 10,000 pound capacity ShoreStation lift for his 22' Pro-Line, the lift at the end of a canal without access to power. "A more traditional, AC powered lift would have cost $600 a year just for the needed electric meter," said Sager. "The solar panel charger makes the ShoreStation lift totally independent from AC power. The cost-savings are excellent. This lift is the best money I ever spent. Ocean One was great about installing everything, too, even for such a unique application."
