About

In the 1940s a small team in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin designed and built the world's first mobile boat hoist, and Marine Travelift was officially established in 1954. The company introduced the first open-end boat lift design in the 1960s, the BFM (Beam Forward Machine) series in the 1980s and marina forklifts in the early 1990s.

It delivered an 800-ton hoist in the late 1990s and a 1,000 metric ton mobile boat hoist in 2010, each the world's largest at the time, introduced the self-propelled hydraulic transporter in 2006 and the variable width option in 2022. Today it has over 4,500 units in operation worldwide and has created Marine Travelift-Florida to provide factory-owned sales and service in that state.
