The KMI Sea-Lift is the easiest and quickest way to launch and haul boats with almost any hull design using a typical boat ramp.  Craft can be moved at speeds to 5 mph and once there, they can be stored inches from each other maximizing yard space.
   
Versatile: The KMI Sea-Lift is the most versatile machine of its type in the world.
Fastest in the world: In less than 60 seconds, the Sea-Lift can have boats lifted and out of the water! See video.
Increases Revenues: Because the Sea-Lift is able to place boats within inches of each other, not feet, revenues are increased.
Maneuverable: Steering drive wheels turn 180 degree for outstanding maneuverability and safety.
Shape Conforming Air-Bunk Support: This unique feature actually carries the vessel on air!
Lifts higher: Sea-Lifts are now able to lift a boat 10.5 feet above the ground which is necessary for sailing vessels. With the locking hydraulics, this also allows for easy pressure washing and quick under-hull work.
Patented Center Hinge: The patented center hinge allows for launches and hauls in shallower water.

Hurricane & Typhoon Considerations

We have recently been reminded what the hurricanes and typhoons can do not only to boats but also marina structures and docks. A marina will typically experience less damage if boats are moved to land. Boats are more likely to survive if they are on land and secured.

The KMI Sea-Lift is able to haul-out large boats in less than 60 seconds and travel to a more secure set-down location at 5 mph/8 kph. It is very possible to haul, set and secure four large boats per hour if properly prepared. This means a 240 slip marina can be vacated in 60 hours! The KMI Sea-Lift is the only machine in the world that has this speed and capability.
