About this Item

BH-30 – 3,000 lb. Standard Flat Plate Boat Lift Hoist

The BH-30 – 3,000 lb. Standard Flat Plate Boat Lift Hoist combines a 3/4 HP wired motor and a 4,000 lb. gear plate assembly to create a boat hoist. Features no steel-on-steel moving parts. The hoist uses bronze-on-steel gearing. A 96-tooth cast-iron worm gear on a hardened bronze worm. The hoist uses a solid aluminum extended block housing that strengthens and supports the backplate. This reduces heat build-up caused by friction and keeps the worm gear greased and aligned. It allows for a more economical and lighter weight 1/4″ backplate. The hoist includes actual true backplate bearings, innovative and easy-to-reach zerk grease fittings, enclosed worm housings, metal drive pulleys, drive belts, and extended support blocks.

The motor is a NEMA motor that is UL Listed and CSA approved. Totally enclosed, non-venting housing (TENV) motor helps prevent dirt and insects from getting into the motor. Standard duty, single-phase, dual voltage motor with a start capacitor. The motor is wired at the factory with a Bremas boat lift switch and 16 ft. GFCI wire harness.

All electrical parts are UL and NEMA compliant. Ships in (2) boxes; gear plate assembly box and motor box. Pre-assembled and tested under load from the factory.
