The Perfect Shallow Water Boat Lift With Push-Button Control
Hewitt's hydraulic cantilever boat lift is built for shallow water shorelines. They can operate in as little as 6 inches of water, making it one of the lowest profile boat lifts available—making it an ideal shallow water boat lift for areas where traditional lifts won’t function. The cantilever design provides strong, stable support and requires less water than vertical lifts and they can rest dockside in as little as 24" of water. Available in 3,900 lb and 5,200 lb models, it's a great fit for fishing boats, pontoons, and other shallow draft watercraft.
With wireless key-fob control, launching your boat is quick and effortless. The fully enclosed hydraulic system offers smooth, quiet lifting with minimal maintenance. Whether you’re looking for a shallow water pontoon lift or a low profile boat lift for shorter docks, Hewitt’s hydraulic cantilever boat lift provides dependable, hassle-free access to the water.
HYDRAULIC CANTILEVER BOAT LIFT FEATURES
Frame Components
The hydraulic cantilever boat lift features a corrosion-resistant, all-aluminum frame built for long-lasting performance in shallow water. It includes two full-length adjustable bunks, a keel protector, and four 3-foot adjustable-height leveling legs with stainless steel quick-release pins for easy setup. The frame and welds are backed by a 15-year warranty, reflecting Hewitt’s commitment to durability. Optional conversion kits are available to accommodate pontoon boats, making this lift a versatile solution for various shallow water applications. Whether you're using it as a low profile boat lift or shallow water pontoon lift, the frame is engineered for reliable, worry-free support.
Hydraulic Pump, Control System and Chest
This hydraulic cantilever boat lift includes a water-resistant locking chest, dual key-fob remotes, and supports 220V AC or 12V/24V DC power. The average lift time is 63 seconds for 38.5". Optional features include a solar charger and compact pump stand. The chest houses the battery (not included) for DC setups.
External Filter
The external filter protects the hydraulic system by keeping oil clean and extending component life. Unlike in-tank filters found on competitor pumps, this filter is easy to access and service—no need to remove the reservoir. It helps ensure smooth, reliable performance for your hydraulic cantilever boat lift.
Hydraulic Cylinders
Twin sealed hydraulic cylinders use triple chrome-plated shafts, waterproof synthetic hoses, and biodegradable hydrdaulic fluid for long-lasting, eco-friendly performance. Mounted on reinforced uprights with large torsion pins, not bolts, the cylinders lift fully out of the water when raised—reducing wear and extending the life of your hydraulic cantilever boat lift.
