Designed Especially For

Big Boat Handling

Rated Lifting Capacity.,.660,000 lbs. (300,000 kg)

The Marine Travelift 300 BFM mobile boat hoist is proving itself as a real versatile performer in large boat handling. Originally thought of as a hoist for work boats and commercial fishing boats, the 300 BFM hoist easi- ly meets the challenge of handling today's upsized pleasure craft.

The many design features, which are standard on the 300 BFM hoist, make it easy to han- dle even the most difficult lifts. The open end design speeds boat loading and unloading, while the beam for- ward design increases boat clearance for masts and boat bridges.

Two speed hoisting and two speed drive, along with the unit's 90° pivot steering, reduces boat handling time and increases maneuverability, along with boat handling and service oppor- tunities. Our automatic load equaliz-

Adjustable sling spacing is hydraulic powered.

Full instrumentation is located in the operator's compartment for travel, steering, hoisting, sling spacing and load controls. ing feature provides synchronized sling adjust- ment and confident boat handling.

The 300

BFM mobile boat hoist features a high strength, low alloy steel super structure with stainless hydraulic tubing for a long, trouble-free service life.

Maintenance is easy with low mount, easily accessible power plant and hydraulic compartments.

A sturdy, eight-wheel stance with chain drives and Marine Travelift's pivot trunnion, for travel over uneven terrain, increases yard utilization and eases boat handling congestion.

Best of all, your Marine Travelift 300 BFM mobile boat hoist may be your marina's best investment. It offers economical installation costs when compared to other large boat handling systems, more customer ser- vice opportunities, and excellent profit potential and outstanding resale value when you decide to increase load capacities.
