Cantilever Lift

Simple, reliable design for boats and pontoons

The original Hewitt Lift continues to be one of our most popular models. These rugged general purpose lifts have a natural mechanical advantage that actually makes operation easier as the boat is raised higher. Cantilever Lifts also have a long history of trouble-free performance. They require few moving parts for superior reliability and place less stress on pulleys and cables. In the lift’s fully raised position, cables carry no weight, the load is entirely supported by the frame. Corrosion resistant aluminum construction also assures low maintenance – no rust, no painting.

Standard Model
Standard Cantilever Lifts include self-adjusting cradles and keel protectors, manual winch and rubber end caps. Deluxe rubber cradles and keel protectors are available as options. Capacities range from 1200 to 4800 lbs. Models for personal watercraft are shown here.

Wide ‘N’ Long Model
These Cantilever Lifts are solidly built and heavily reinforced for today’s extra wide, extra long craft. They are also an ideal lift for larger pontoon boats, with interior frame dimensions up to 115".

Pontoon Kits
A variety of pontoon cradle kits can be installed in place of the standard boat cradles. Options include wood and adjustable aluminum rack kits that lift under the pontoon’s deck and serve as positioning guides. There are also two styles designed to cradle the pontoons: an adjustable aluminum model and a wood “V” bed covered with marine carpeting for full length protection.
 

Features

	Heavy-Duty All-Aluminum Construction Hewitt takes no shortcuts. Some lift makers use nothing more than a bolt for critical pivot joints. Hewitt Lifts are designed with double-reinforced pivots that are made with structural aluminum tubing and welded, through-hole construction – superior strength for superior reliability.
	Extra Reinforcing It is not unusual for poorly built lifts to sway or even break when subjected to frequent use. Hewitt Lifts are built for the real world. Crossbars are reinforced with extra large gussets, providing greater lateral stability and overall strength.
	Pulley Boxes While lesser brands may simply bolt pulleys to the frame, Hewitt Lifts have specially designed enclosures. Pulley assemblies are mounted in reinforced plate aluminum boxes that are welded directly to the frame. Cantilever Lifts also use fewer pulleys and all parts are easily accessible for reduced maintenance.
