Hydraulic Low-Profile Boat Lift — Sleek, Space-Saving, and FAST!

The Proteus, a Hydraulic Low-Profile Boat Lift is a next-generation lift system engineered for piling docks, boat houses, and covered slips. Unlike bulky, in-water lifts, this lift mounts cleanly to wood or metal structures, keeping your dock area open, uncluttered, and visually appealing.

This lift uses a hydraulic system that raises and lowers the boat smoothly while minimizing the number of visible components. The result is a sleek look that blends seamlessly with modern dock designs and covered slips. Whether storing a fishing boat, runabout, or pontoon, this unit combines strength, convenience, and aesthetics into one sleek system.

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE PROTEUS?

The hydraulic cylinders on the Proteus are enclosed within the main lifting beams that support your boat, utilizing a block-and-tackle system to achieve an impressive 8-foot lifting height. This streamlined design minimizes visible components, giving your setup a cleaner look. Simply mount the support blocks to your pilings or dock, thread the lifting cables through the blocks, connect the hydraulic hoses to the pump box—and you’re ready to lift. It’s a simpler, cleaner, and more efficient solution than any other low-profile piling mount lifts on the market.

A low-profile boat lift is designed for performance and simplicity, providing reliable lifting power without the bulky framework found in traditional lifts. Its streamlined design keeps the lift close to the water’s surface or mounted neatly to existing dock or piling structures—perfect for maintaining a clean, unobstructed waterfront appearance.

HOW THE LIFT INSTALLS The lift installs using mounting brackets that guide and secure the lift cables. Each bracket attaches with four bolts and is designed to mount best against a flat surface for maximum stability. The lift cable loops through each bracket and is held firmly in place with a pair of set screws. This versatile design allows for multiple installation configurations, giving you flexibility to adapt the lift to your specific dock or piling setup.

Low Profile Install - Using this system as a low-profile lift creates a sleek design that eliminates the need for bulky overhead beams, giving your dock a cleaner, more open appearance. With no cables in the way, it provides easy and convenient access to your boat. The lift mounts directly to the dock structure or supporting pilings, ensuring a stable and space-saving setup. It’s important to confirm that the mounting structure is strong enough to safely support the full weight of your boat.

Piling Mount Install - Using this system as a 4-post piling mount lift is straightforward and simple to install. The beamless design allows each bracket to mount directly to its respective piling, eliminating the need for overhead or cross beams. Installation varies slightly depending on the type of pilings used, offering flexibility to mount the brackets at virtually any height. The placement of the brackets ultimately determines how high the lift will raise, allowing you to customize the setup to your specific dock and boat requirements.
