First question is what type of lift are you looking at? A cantilever hydraulic or a cable vertical? Depth constraints are my concern. The verticals do not require much depth, the cantilevers do. We have what I would consider pretty good depth and we cannot use a cantilever in our slips.

Any of the dock and barge companies can install and pull out the lift seasonally. They use either a crane or an excavator. Some people leave them in year round and use a circulator on them. Are you using it associated with a permanent or seasonal dock?

I priced it once, I think it was $300-400 to install and the same to remove. We have 2 sunlift mini's that we do ourselves but these are only a few hundred pounds, but still very awkward.
