Travel lift

[1] These cranes allow boats with masts or tall superstructure to be transported around hard stands as the tall upper structure can pass through the open end of the crane framework before lifting and after setting down.

Travel lifts typically have two rectangular side frames joined by a beam across one end.

In one, the boat is positioned in a narrow dock, or lifting well, with two paths along each side, which are at the same level as the hard stand.

The boat can then be lifted above the level of the hard stand and driven around to the place where it is to be lowered.

Because of their slow speeds, marine travel lifts are impractical for street transport of boats.
