Have the need for a lift? Or a splice and graft? No, this isn't a consultation with a plastic surgeon, we're talking about how marinas hoist and haul their vessels to dry dock. And TriStar's Ultracomp® Bearings - prized for their versatility in demanding applications from agriculture to military - have dramatically improved the task of hoisting and hauling at harbors around the globe.
Superior strength
Lifting luxury yachts and fishing trawlers to dock is a rugged, yet extremely delicate marina function. The hoists must be consistently reliable and extremely sturdy, since they often lift vessels valued in the multi-millions and weighing hundreds of tons. These vessels can require lifting to undergo scheduled maintenance, or for removal to winter storage. And just as the ship's owners trust marina crews to hoist their vessels smoothly and without damage — manufacturers of boat hoists trust TriStar to provide bearings of superior strength, self-lubrication and vibration resistance.
A prized pivot
The secret to a successful boat hoist? Our Ultracomp 200 bearings, which are found inside the steel columns and at the corner pivot points of boat hoists. Ultracomp bearings help to ensure a smooth and steady lift, hold, and release of marine cargo. Ultracomp formulations are also ideally suited to a corrosive seaside environment, since they absorb near zero moisture and are self-lubricating. Since there is no need for manual greasing, marinas may realize a significant savings in overall maintenance costs. And to ensure just the right fit, Ultracomp bearing material is available in tube or sheet form, or can be custom fabricated to your precise specifications.
With a compressive strength exceeding 54,000 psi, compatibility with stainless steel and superior impact resistance, Ultracomp bearings provide smooth sailing to harbor boat hoists.
