Viking Boat Lift

A picture is worth a thousand words!

(We now have THREE pages of photos, with the newer ones, up first.)

LOOKING LIKE AN OLD-STYLE PAINTING, WITH A BOAT AND A DOCK ADDED IN LATER,
THE VIKING BOAT LIFT LEAVES THE SCENE....QUIET.

ANOTHER, NOT-SO-QUIET VIEW OF THE SAME BOAT
SHOWS OUR LIFT DOING WHAT IT DOES BEST...PROTECTING YOUR VALUABLE ASSET.

~~A QUINTESSENTIAL PICTURE OF COTTAGE LIFE.~~
WHAT DO YOU SEE FIRST? ...THE BOAT, THE SCENERY OR THE LIFT?
THE VIKING BOAT LIFT IS UNDERSTATED PURPOSE AND UTILITY.
(the strong, silent type)

THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE.
THE FABRICATION IS ELEGANT.
THE FUNCTION IS UNCOMPLICATED.
THE RESULT ..... IS A VIKING BOAT LIFT.

READY TO GO AT THE PRESS OF A BUTTON....BUT....BEING THIS EASY TO LEAVE,
MIGHT CAUSE YOU TO FORGET THE ICE FOR THE BEER.

JUST LOOK AT THIS PHOTO.......SOMEBODY LOOOOOVES THEIR VIKING BOAT LIFT.
(PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE AS MUCH ATTENTION TO 'PEOPLE' PHOTOGRAPHS.)

THE VIKING BOAT LIFT NOT ONLY HANDLES SAILBOATS TOO,
...IT HANDLES THEM WITH GREAT CARE.
(NOTE: SOME OTHER LIFTS WON'T ALLOW THE MAST TO STAY UP WHILE HOISTED.)

THE GREEN ARROW POINTS OUT THE ONLY STRUCTURE ADDED TO AN ALREADY BUSY VIEW, BY THE ADDITION OF OUR VIKING BOAT LIFT.
THE ADDITIONAL TIME ACTUALLY SPENT SAILING,
IS A HAPPY CONSEQUENCE.

THE "HOVER-BOAT" HASN'T BEEN INVENTED YET
BUT WITH A VIKING BOAT LIFT
YOU CAN MAKE IT SEEM SO.

WITH THE BOAT ON THE VIKING BOAT LIFT, NONE OF THE VIEW IS OBSCURED BY THE LIFT STRUCTURE.

WITH THE BOAT OFF OF THE VIKING BOAT LIFT, THE VISUAL FOOTPRINT OF THE LIFT IS MINIMAL. COMPARE THAT WITH OTHER LIFTS.

ALONG WITH THIS PHOTO CAME THE QUOTE:
"IF WE CAN SERVE AS A REFERENCE FOR WESTERN MONTANA,
WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO."
THEY ARE OFFERING OTHERS IN THE AREA TO COME AND SEE A
VIKING BOAT LIFT IN PERSON.
YOU DON'T DO THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE 'PRIDE OF PRODUCT'!

WINTER AFTER WINTER, THE VIKING BOAT LIFT SURVIVES
TO GIVE ITS SUPPORT, IN YOUR SEARCH FOR SUMMER FUN.

SOMETIMES EVEN A 'LIFT'...NEEDS A LIFT

SOME INSTALLATIONS OF OUR VIKING BOAT LIFT OFFER MORE OF A CHALLENGE, DUE TO TERRAIN OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES. THAT IS WHY WE ALWAYS ASK THAT A FEW EXTRA HANDS BE AVAILABLE TO HELP LESSEN THE STRUGGLE ON THAT DAY. ON THIS PARTICULAR TRIP WE UNLOADED THE BOATLIFT SECTIONS ONTO A FRONT-END LOADER (1) TO BE TRANSPORTED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. THEN THE PIECES WERE CARRIED BY HAND, DOWN A STEEP MUD RAMP (2), THEN MAN-HANDLED DOWN SOME STONE STAIRS TO THE WATERLEVEL (3). EVEN A 4-WHEEL-DRIVE ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE WOULD HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT TRIP ON THIS RAINY DAY.

AFTER THE LIFT ARRIVED IN SECTIONS ONTO THE DOCK, THE INSTALLATION WENT SMOOTHLY AND THE END RESULT IS BEFORE YOU. NOTICE THE LIGHTER COLOURED WATER AROUND THE LIFT...IT REFLECTS THE EFFORT OF MAKING SURE THE VIKING BOAT LIFT STANDS ON SOLID GROUND.
PLEASE HAVE A FEW EXTRA PEOPLE ON HAND TO HELP.
IT MAKES IT A BETTER EXPERIENCE FOR ALL.

ANOTHER ADVENTURE

BESIDES...THE VIKING BOAT LIFT IS SO TOUGH, THEY DECIDED TO ENLIST GRAVITY FOR THE HEAVIEST PIECE.

...LATER THAT SAME YEAR...
THE VENGENCE OF WINTER STRUCK A BLOW IN THE REGION,
WITH 'DOCK REMOVAL', AN UNWANTED RESULT, AS SEEN AT A NEIGHBOUR'S DOCK.

SITTING, UNATTACHED TO IT'S DOCK, THE VIKING BOAT LIFT REMAINS, UNDAMAGED, WHERE IT WAS INSTALLED.

AND WE DID NOT STRIKE SOME DEAL WITH THE DEVIL EITHER!
(ALTHOUGH, WE WOULDN'T MIND HIRING HIM FOR FABRICATING, ...AS HIS WELDING IS EXCELLENT.)

HERE IS A VIKING BOAT LIFT
IN THE 'LAND OF THE VIKINGS'....DENMARK.
FOR BO, INSTALLING ONE OF HIS CAREFULLY FABRICATED LIFTS INTO THE WATERS OF HIS HOMELAND, IS A DREAM COME TRUE.

THE DANES APPRECIATE THE SIMPLICITY AND LOGIC OF DESIGN.
IT'S NO SURPRISE THEY ORDERED MORE. HERE'S ANOTHER.
THE VIKING BOAT LIFT HAS GONE MULTINATIONAL.

THE FOLLOWING IS A SHORT TALE OF WOE AND RELIEF. CAUTION: THE SIGHT OF INJURED BOATS MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL AUDIENCES. THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.
THE CALM AFTER THE STORM.
THE TREE GAVE WAY...BUT
OUR VIKING BOAT LIFT DIDN'T... SUSTAINING ONLY SLIGHT, EASILY-REPAIRABLE DAMAGE.
THESE ARE HONESTLY-RENDERED PHOTOS. WE PROUDLY STAND BEHIND OUR VIKING BOAT LIFT.

OUR CUSTOMERS FEEL SAFE, ...WITH THE TECHNOLOGY, ...WITH THE SERVICE COMMITMENT, AND (WITH SO FEW EXPOSED MOVING PARTS) THEY FEEL SAFE WITH THEIR KIDS
AROUND THE VIKING BOAT LIFT.

BEAUTIFUL HOME. BEAUTIFUL BOATS. AND ONE, BARELY VISABLE, BEA-U-TI-FUL
VIKING BOAT LIFT!

A STORM IS OBVIOUSLY BREWING. ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THE WIND SLAMMING YOUR BOAT AGAINST THE DOCK? WITH A VIKING BOAT LIFT.....NO.
(REMEMBER HOW LITTLE SURFACE THERE IS FOR WAVE ACTION TO ACT UPON.)

WHEN YOU HAVE A VIKING BOAT LIFT,
YOU REALLY DON'T MIND HAVING IT RIGHT BESIDE YOU.

FOR OTHER TYPES OF BOATLIFT, IT WOULDN'T BE UNUSUAL TO HEAR THE REQUEST.....
"COULD YOU PUT IT WAY OVER THERE...AWAY FROM THE PATIO?"

NOW...EVEN THE BOAT HAS A CHAIR!
THE VIKING BOAT LIFT IS HARDLY NOTICED AMID THE PIER.
