Who We Are

Boat lift power, modernized.

Lake Lifter builds the drive motors, control boxes, and complete hoist systems that keep boats out of the water and ready to run. We focus on three things: replacing manual hand wheels and outdated AC setups with quiet DC power, managing air-displacement lifts through a single clean control box, and delivering purpose-built hoist kits for coastal waterfronts that demand more.

Every product is engineered for real marine conditions, supports solar integration where it makes sense, and is designed to drop into a wide range of existing lift brands.

Direct Drive Motors

Replace the hand wheel. Keep things quiet.

Our direct drive motors bolt straight to your existing winch shaft, eliminate belts and pulleys, and cut routine maintenance to almost nothing. Available in both low-voltage DC and shore-powered AC configurations, with capacities up to 7,000 lbs across the line.

Our Flagship

DC Direct Drive Motors

Low-voltage 12V or 24V operation keeps high-voltage electrical current off the dock entirely, running on safe battery power and delivering fast, push-button lift cycles. The direct drive architecture removes external belts, pulleys, and separate gearboxes for a clean profile and significantly reduced maintenance.

The DC Motor + Solar Combo Kit is our best seller:

High-torque DC motor paired with a precision-matched solar panel and charge controller
Fully off-grid. No shore power, no trenching, no utility bills
Broad compatibility with existing lift brands, drops onto most winch shafts
Supports most vessels up to 7,000 lbs

AC Direct Drive Motors

For docks with existing shore power infrastructure, our AC direct drive motors tie directly into standard dockside AC service for dependable, uninterrupted operation. Same direct-drive architecture, same drop-in fit on winch shafts, same weather-resistant build.

DC Integrated Winch Boxes

Motor and winch sealed in a single low-voltage enclosure.

AC Integrated Winch Boxes

Shore-powered all-in-one units for clean dockside installs.

Solar Charging Kits

12V, 24V, and 36V kits that keep DC lifts off the grid.

Floating Boat Lift Controls

All-in-one control for air-displacement lifts.

Air-based boat lifts use a blower motor to inflate or vent tanks that raise and lower the vessel. Our control boxes consolidate the blower motor, valves, and electrical switching into a single weather-sealed enclosure. Pick the mounting style that matches your dock, and the power configuration that matches your site.

Free Floating Controls

Lifts that float in place without a fixed piling anchor. Our free-floating control boxes handle the dynamic movement with precise leveling and consistent airflow across all tanks.

Hinged Floating Controls

Hinged-design lifts that attach to a dock piling or post. Control boxes in this collection mount directly to vertical posts and regulate the airflow required to pivot and lift vessels safely.

Each style is available in both power configurations:

DC Blower Motor Control Boxes

12V / 24V operation for off-grid or solar-integrated docks.

AC Blower Motor Control Boxes

110V / 120V tie-in for docks with existing shore power.

AC Wireless Control Boxes

Hands-free operation with wireless remote and leak-guard safety.

Coastal Hoist Systems

Built for saltwater. Sized for serious boats.

Our 1-motor and 2-motor boat hoist systems are purpose-built for coastal applications where salt spray and heavy vessels are the daily reality. These are the epoxy-coated and premium stainless steel drive motors, arranged in the hoist configurations that actually work on the kind of waterfronts that eat standard hardware alive.

Operate on a safe low-voltage 24V DC architecture, pair cleanly with solar charging arrays for off-grid installations, and include weather-resistant housings and condensation safeguards designed for tidal and temperature shifts.

1 Motor Boat Hoist Systems

Single-motor configurations for coastal and inland setups that need purpose-built hoist power without the complexity of a dual-motor rig.

2 Motor Boat Hoist Systems

Synchronized dual-motor setups for larger vessels and higher-capacity lifts. Balanced lifting power across multiple attachment points for heavy coastal boats.
