SHORESTATION 80" CRADLE POST GUIDES – HA0280

The ShoreStation HA-0280 Cradle Post Guides are designed to help center your boat smoothly and consistently as you enter your lift. This kit includes two cradle-mounted guide posts and all required mounting hardware, and is engineered specifically for ShoreStation 8,000–10,000 lb hydraulic boat lifts equipped with the newer Aluminum Cradle.

These upright guides are typically used alongside the HA0281 Spring-Loaded Centering Guides (sold separately), but can also be installed as a standalone guiding system on both the entry and exit ends of the lift. When mounted on the entry platform, the posts are fully adjustable to ensure a wide enough opening for safe, easy boat loading.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Improves Centering & Alignment – Helps guide the boat into the correct position during loading, especially in windy or choppy conditions.
  • Designed for 8,000–10,000 lb Aluminum Cradle Lifts – Precision-fit brackets and hardware ensure proper mounting to ShoreStation’s V-rack aluminum platform.
  • Adjustable Fit – Posts can be positioned inward or outward to match your boat’s beam and loading preference. (Note: adding these guides reduces maximum allowable boat width by approx. 5".)
  • Durable Construction – Includes corrosion-resistant plated hardware and robust guide-post assemblies engineered for long-term reliability.
  • Easy Installation – Mounts using U-bolts that secure around the cradle frame; only basic hand tools are required.
