8,500 lb. Advanced Gear Plate Assembly – Powder-Coated Steel

The 8,500 lb. Advanced Gear Plate Assembly – Powder-Coated Steel is a heavy-duty, dual-belt drive system engineered for maximum lifting performance in flat-plate boat hoist applications. Featuring a durable powder-coated steel backplate, this version provides enhanced corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean, long-lasting finish in harsh marine environments.

Designed for higher capacity lifts, this advanced assembly delivers up to 8,500 lbs (straight line) when paired with a 1.5 HP motor. It utilizes a 96:1 bronze worm gear and hardened steel worm drive to ensure smooth, efficient lifting while eliminating steel-on-steel contact to reduce wear and extend service life.

Unlike lower-capacity systems, this model features a dual-belt 10" aluminum die-cast hoist pulley, providing increased torque transfer and improved lifting performance under heavier loads.
