Docklev boat launch and recovery trailer on a slipway

Docklev™

Vessel docking and levelling for slipways, boatyards and marinas

Most slipways still haul vessels with a cradle, a cable and a winch. Docklev replaces all three with a self-propelled, cable-free unit that carries the vessel level throughout the move. A vessel is docked or launched in under 30 minutes, and one operator does it by remote control.

Why “leveller”

Docklev is designed first as a leveller and only then as a lifter. The platform keeps the vessel level on the slope of the slipway and in the water, and traction is available only when the platform is level.

What it does for the yard

More vessels handled per day on the same slipway · Vessels can be parked in corners and narrow spaces that a cradle cannot reach · Better use of yard space · A short payback period on the investment

Safety features

Two-level alarm (alert and danger) for incline angle, transverse angle and platform level · Centre-of-gravity position monitoring · Redundant controls · Engine cut-off at low hydraulic oil · Automatic brake when stopped · Reserve power · Adjustable inflatable airbags · Levelling and lifting in water
