Step-By-Step Instructions to Calculate
Your Boat Lift Capacity
This calculator assumes that the watercraft’s center of gravity is loaded directly above the center of the lift cradles. Shifting the watercraft’s center of gravity in any direction away from the center of the lift cradles to accommodate walk-boards, dock structure, for convenience of access, or for any other reason, will change the capacity calculations. It may be necessary to increase the capacity of the lift to account for the off-centered load.
