Anytec floats peoples boats

The 12 ton Sublift is a self propelled semi-submersible boat lift which has the great advantage of having been designed and built by boat builders.

Sublift is of typical high Swedish quality and has been designed to require minimum manpower whilst providing an efficient method of handling boats in and out of the water, transporting them wherever they need to go and loading and unloading them to and from trucks.

Anytec were also able to help HMS Raleigh by supplying a Sublift from stock when the tractor for their existing lift suffered serious service problems.

Roger Nadin, managing director of Wave Seven Marine said, ‘Anytec have supplied Sublifts to a number of military organizations around the world, in Malaysia, Mexico, Sweden and Singapore. They are not only used in normal workshop situations but, because Sublift can operate on a simple laid track, it can be used tactically to help launch and recover boats almost anywhere that there is a beach.’

He also said that his company had been pleased to supply Sublifts to a number of marinas and boat clubs in the UK following a presence at Seawork 2008.

A quiet and competent Sublift, supplied by Wave Seven Marine has also been adopted by the Wicormarine boatyard at Portsmouth Harbour. Wicormarine has a slipway with limited tidal access and it was therefore essential to find a single machine that could perform efficiently within those limitations.

The yard has been family owned and operated since 1966 and in recent months it had become obvious that its fleet of three boat trailers had reached the end of their useful lives. Vessels with modern keel configurations were proving difficult to handle.

Using new Sublift hoists, the yard can now manage a much wider range of boats in the same tidal range, delivering a boat handling facility in which customers can have complete confidence.
