MOE'S DOCKS AND LIFTS

Heavy-Duty All-Aluminum Construction
Hewitt takes no shortcuts. Some lift makers use nothing more than a bolt for critical pivot joints. Hewitt Lifts are designed with double-reinforced pivots that are made with structural aluminum tubing and welded, through-hole construction – superior strength for superior reliability.

Extra Reinforcing
It is not unusual for poorly built lifts to sway or even break when subjected to frequent use. Hewitt Lifts are built for the real world. Crossbars are reinforced with extra large gussets, providing greater lateral stability and overall strength.

Pulley Boxes
While lesser brands may simply bolt pulleys to the frame, Hewitt Lifts have specially designed enclosures. Pulley assemblies are mounted in reinforced plate aluminum boxes that are welded directly to the frame. Cantilever Lifts also use fewer pulleys and all parts are easily accessible for reduced maintenance.

Winches Suited to the Task
Hewitt manual winches are specifically sized and geared to the capacity of the lift for safe operation. Unless otherwise specified, lifts under 2400 lb.capacity are equipped with a 12:1 ratio Dutton Lainson self-braking winch. 2400 lb. models and larger feature Hewitt’s high-efficiency chain drive winch with 15:1 and 20:1 gear ratios. Gears, chain and winding drum are fully enclosed.

Emphasis on Easy Operation
Every type of Hewitt lifting mechanism is optimized to work with minimal effort. Manual winches are equipped with large diameter hand wheels and spinner knobs for faster, easier operation. Electric winches raise and lower lifts with the flip of a switch and hydraulic systems feature the ultimate convenience of wireless remote control.

Trex Cradles
Standard boat cradles, unless otherwise specified, are made from a non-scratch plastic and wood fiber composite. This material absorbs very little water, won’t split and requires little or no maintenance.

Carpeted Bunks
Standard bunks are made from pressure-treated lumber and covered with premium grade marine carpeting for scratch protection. Carpeting is highly resistant to mildew and rot.

Adjustable Leveling Legs
Leveling legs are standard on boat lifts with capacities of 1600 lbs. and up. Legs are available as options on PWC and Narrow Pontoon Lifts. Exterior mounted legs with stainless steel quick pins allow easier adjustment and help prevent jamming.

Pulleys & Cables
Lifts with cable systems use smooth-rolling acetal delrin plastic pulleys with high-strength galvanized steel housings and stainless steel cable – not rope. Pulleys have hardened brass bushings for optimum performance under heavy load. Our lift designs also keep pulleys and cables completely out of the water in the raised position for even longer life.

Superior Hardware
Every connection point is secured with the proper type of hardware. A combination of stainless steel, Durlak coated hardware and brass is used to achieve the required strength and/or corrosion resistance.

Poly Tire (Optional Accessory)
Helper wheels used to aid in the positioning of lifts are made from corrosion resistant polyethylene and feature seamless construction with relief venting.
