Need recommendation on Shorestation Wheel Kit

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Guys - I purchased a new Shorestation 4,000lb vertical lift.  I plan to purchase a wheel kit to assist me in getting the lift out of the water at the end of the year.  Do you have a recommendation on which kit to purchase?  I want a quality kit.  I don't want to have to be making part for it (i.e. bent brackets and bolts).  Who makes a good quality kit and where can I purchase it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

P.S. If you have any tips on getting the lift out of the water, please send them my way.  I am thinking of purchasing an electric winch and strapping it to a tree to assist in yanking the lift out.  I can't guarantee that I will have three guys available to help me.

	The electric winch strapped to a tree does work, and it works pretty well, depending on the bottom if you don't have a wheel kit you might need to help it along over rocks and other debris while it is on its way in. I have an old shorestation that I put in and out without wheels by myself for the past ten years moving from one side to the other picking it up and pushing - in retrospect that was not a good idea I loosened all the corner joints up pretty bad and had to dump some cash into new parts and do a bit of welding to it this year to get it to stand back upright. Now I will use the old windsurfer to float them out and a spreader bar and winch to bring them back in.
