Kayak Lift - Model KL400-72L

KL400-72L Kayak Ladder Lift & Launch 

Our heaviest duty model, the KL400-72L Kayak Lift & Launch is designed to accommodate larger crafts (up to 400 lbs. / beam width 51") with a lifting height of 6 feet. This innovative kayak launch provides a smooth transition for you and your kayak to and from the top of your seawall or permanent dock system to the water. The built-in ladder and launch platform raises and lowers up to 6 feet so you can safely and easily launch your kayak from your seawall (also great for paddleboards, canoes, and other small non-motorized crafts). The platform features Sure-Step® vinyl decking with a built-in boarding handle, paddle hook and kayak leash to secure your craft (custom lifting heights available - please contact us for details).
