Inflatable boat lifts that are simple, versatile and affordable
Air-Dock inflatable boat lifts keep your boat clean, dry and protected. They float, they fit almost any dock, and you can install one yourself with no contractor.
How an Air-Dock boat lift works
Our long-lasting Elvaloy material is radio frequency welded into a low-pressure cushion of air that lifts your boat out of the water simply and securely.
Start with the lift submerged
Begin with the center chambers lowered below the waterline. The outer chambers stay inflated, so the lift keeps floating in place at your dock.Drive on and tie off
Pull your boat onto the lift just as you would pull into a slip, then tie down with your normal dock lines.Inflate and go
Use the simple three-valve control box to inflate each chamber. Your boat rises clean and ready for your next trip.
