LAUNCH GROUP
SUB-LIFT
For launching and retrieval, Falkenbergs Båtsällskap uses a Sub-Lift, which is very flexible and agile. With it, we take boats up to about 40 feet and 10 tons. Launching and retrieval takes place via a ramp that the Sub-Lift drives down and thus it is safe and controlled.
It is also very handy in case of damage and breakdowns as it is quick to get a boat up and the boat can remain in the sublift for any minor repairs during the season. season.
The sublift is manned by 6 drivers who run on a schedule during loading and unloading from April-May and October-November.
When the boats are picked up, they are rinsed off on our rinse pad where all the water is collected in IBC tanks which are then transported to the depot.
In recent years, more and more members have switched to placing the boat on stanchions instead of carts and cradles, which means that a lift takes about two hours. 20-40 minutes.
Contact the sublift group if you have any questions!
