Econo Lift Meridian 10,000 lb — Side Mount
The Econo Lift Meridian 10,000 lb is a large-capacity side mount in our standard Meridian line, a 6-arm, 2-tank lift built for center consoles, cruisers, and other big boats. The 8' by 21' frame and two full-size flotation tanks raise and hold up to 10,000 pounds, and dual control units drive both sides together for fast, level operation.
Side mounting makes it the right fit for slips measuring 10 to 14 feet wide, where the lift attaches to the dock along the slip side. It can also be configured for larger pontoon boats, so a wide tritoon or pontoon sits on a properly supported cradle.
Like every Econo Lift, the Meridian 10,000 lb is built at our family-owned facility in Camdenton, Missouri, using USA-sourced hot-dip galvanized steel and our own rotationally molded flotation tanks. It is not imported.

What boats fit on a 10,000 lb lift?
At 10,000 pounds of capacity, the Meridian 10,000 lb handles big, heavy boats across a 6-arm cradle, with a 10 to 14 foot slip range that leaves room for a wide beam. It comfortably accommodates:
- Center consoles with heavy outboard packages and full fuel and gear loads
- Cabin cruisers and larger day cruisers that sit deep and carry their weight aft
- Wake boats that take on ballast for surf and wake performance
- High-performance bow riders with bigger power and longer hulls
- Larger tritoons whose three tubes need a wide, well-supported cradle
- Catamarans and catamaran-hull boats with a wide stance
The 10,000 lb can also be set up for larger pontoon boats. Size to your boat's wet weight, with fuel, water, batteries, and gear, rather than the dry weight on the spec sheet.
Specifications
Specifications, explained
Two full-size rotationally molded tanks generate the displacement to raise a 10,000 lb load smoothly and hold it clear of the water.
Six cradle arms spread the hull's weight across more contact points, protecting both the boat and the lift over thousands of cycles.
Sized for large boats and side-mounted along a 10 to 14 foot slip, the most common setup for boats this size.
Dual synchronized drives raise and lower both sides together, faster and more evenly than a single-motor lift.
The Meridian 10,000 lb is a large standard lift. If your boat is heavier or your slip is wider, the Meridian 14,000 lb (1438) steps up on the same side-mount platform.
Built to Last
Engineering & Materials
Every Meridian 10,000 lb is backed by a lifetime original-purchaser warranty on the polyethylene tanks and bushings, a 5-year warranty on all hot-dip galvanized steel, and a 3-year warranty on the motors, valves, and hoses.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What size boat fits on a 10,000 lb boat lift?
The Meridian 10,000 lb is built for large boats, including center consoles, cabin cruisers, wake boats, high-performance bow riders, larger tritoons, and catamarans, and it can be set up for larger pontoon boats. Size the lift to your boat's wet weight, with a full fuel tank, water, batteries, and gear, rather than the dry weight on the spec sheet.
What size slip does the Meridian 10,000 lb need, and how does it mount?
It is a side mount sized for slips measuring 10 to 14 feet wide, where the lift attaches to the dock along the side of the slip.
How many tanks and arms does the 10,000 lb lift have?
Two rotationally molded polyethylene tanks (7' x 8' x 2') and a 6-arm cradle. Two control units raise and lower both sides together, faster and more evenly than a single-motor lift.
Can it lift a large pontoon or tritoon?
Yes. The Meridian 10,000 lb handles larger tritoons and can be set up for larger pontoon boats on a wide, well-supported cradle. See our tritoon boat lifts for more.
Is this the right lift for rough, open water?
For calm to moderate water, yes. If your slip sits in main-channel water with heavy wave action, consider the Surge 12,000 lb, our rough-water lift built with taller tanks, a wider frame, and double arm bushings.
What warranty comes with it, and where is it made?
Every Meridian 10,000 lb carries a lifetime original-purchaser warranty on the polyethylene tanks and bushings, a 5-year warranty on all hot-dip galvanized steel, and a 3-year warranty on the motors, valves, and hoses.
