A new BOAT LIFT installation has successfully completed testing and is now operational in the Lofoten Islands, Norway. With a lifting capacity of 820 tons, the travel lift is designed to handle fishing vessels, barges and large boats with precision and reliability, meeting the operational needs of a maritime industry where handling heavy loads requires suitable equipment.
The machine has been designed to operate in the climatic conditions typical of the Arctic coast, where low temperatures and severe weather are part of the operating environment. The new installation adds to the range of high-capacity solutions for handling large vessels used in the local market.
Norway is a key market for BOAT LIFT. In recent years, the company has tested and commissioned several machines in the country, including a 1000 tons travel lift and another 820 tons unit, both developed to meet the specific handling requirements of the local maritime industry.
From installation to commissioning: engineering and precision on site
Commissioning a travel lift of this capacity requires coordination, technical expertise and a high level of precision. From assembling the structure to installing the systems and carrying out final tests, each stage helps prepare the machine for operational use and verify its correct functioning before handling operations begin.
With the completion of the project in the Lofoten Islands, BOAT LIFT adds another installation to its portfolio in the Norwegian market, further strengthening its presence in a country where handling large vessels calls for high-capacity lifting solutions.
