The weight of a ShoreStation varies significantly depending on the specific model of their aluminum boat lift. These weights, often referred to as "ship weight," typically range from just over 200 pounds to nearly 400 pounds for common models.
Understanding the "ship weight" is crucial for transportation and installation planning. This weight represents the total mass of the boat lift as it is shipped from the manufacturer.
Here's a breakdown of the ship weights for various ShoreStation aluminum boat lift models:
Model | Load Capacity | Ship Weight |
---|---|---|
SS8621 | 800 lb. | 235 lb. |
SSV1288 | 1200 lb. | 208 lb. |
SSV15100 | 1500 lb. | 365 lb. |
SSV15100DW | 1500 lb. | 375 lb. |
Factors Influencing ShoreStation Boat Lift Weight
Several factors contribute to the varying weights among ShoreStation boat lift models:
- Load Capacity: Generally, lifts designed to handle higher load capacities (e.g., 1500 lb. vs. 800 lb.) require more robust construction and materials, leading to a heavier overall weight.
- Design Variations: Different model series (like SS vs. SSV) may incorporate distinct design elements or material specifications that impact their final weight.
- Specific Features: Models with additional features or enhanced durability, such as the "DW" variant, tend to be slightly heavier due to the extra materials or reinforcement.
These weights are essential considerations for logistics, assembly, and ensuring safe operation of the boat lift.
