Our crane (aka 'Kevin')
can lift boats up to approximately 4 tonnes. This includes most
GRP cruisers and small narrowboats
e.g. Sea Otters and Springer Waterbugs.
Lifted boats can be placed on our
hardstanding, on our trailer for pushing into the Barn, or to
or from your trailer. We can also lift one end at a time of almost
any boat for stern gear or bow-thruster maintenance.
Cruiser 'Y Not
III' being lifted by 'Kevin' on to our trailer ('Tommy') for placement
in the Barn Workshop for anti-fouling, full repaint and revarnishing
of rubbing strakes etc.
'Lenny' the Landrover does the pushing & pulling!
Narrowboat 'Leo'
required a new propeller. We lifted the stern of this 60' boat to
allow the owner clear access to the propeller shaft.
Work tug 'Matthew'
had been carrying out maintenance work on the Basingstoke Canal
when it needed some maintenance of it's own. Serious damage, caused
by debris in the canal, meant that the entire stern drive unit had
to be removed for repair and subsequent refit.
'Kevin' has just
lifted cruiser 'Arctic Tern' and placed her on the stands on the
hardstanding for the owners to anti-foul her and carry out repairs
to the rubbing strakes.
This 70' narrowboat
had been experiencing rudder problems so we lifted the stern to
assess the situation and plan corrective action.
'Diamond Lady',
a Sea Otter narrowboat, has just had a repaint and has been pulled
out the Barn by 'Lenny' ready for re-launch. 'Kevin' is on standby
ready to lift her back in to the water.
