Kropf Industrial Delivers First All-Electric Travel Lift
Kropf Industrial, manufacturer of the industry-leading Conolift line of boat handling equipment, is excited to announce that its first all-electric travel lift is now in service in Ontario. The advanced design has eliminated both the diesel power unit and the hydraulic system, yielding a simplified machine that is quiet, and free from emissions and the risk of spills.
A first for North America, this all-electric travel lift with a capacity of 40 tons has already been through a rigorous testing program at Kropf’s facility. It is now being utilized by a Toronto-area marine facility for their haul out and launch operations, providing opportunities for final refinements and demonstrating the performance of the unit in a range of conditions. To date, the lift has exceeded expectations for ease of use, reliability, battery life, and low charging times.
The all-electric design of this lift has completely eliminated the need for an internal-combustion engine and a hydraulic system, which eliminates both emissions and the need for fluids and oils. Reliable, proven technologies were utilized throughout the design, ensuring safe, long-term operations and ease of maintenance and service. The low-voltage battery packs are safe, proven, and easy to maintain.
The all-electric travel lift is a fully-featured machine with all the options available on diesel-powered units, including proportional controls, two-speed winches, sling positioners, and fully radio-remote operation. Diagnostics, machine status updates, and service are simplified through use of a large external touchscreen, and the machine can be remotely diagnosed and serviced through connection to a Wi-Fi network.
The advanced all-electric design is paired with Conolift’s proven fabrication methods, robust design, and high-quality finishes. The machine offers quiet and safe operation without emissions, without the risk of spills, and with lower service requirements than a traditional diesel/hydraulic unit.
