Special Order · Over 20,000 lbs
Large-Capacity Boat Lifts Over 20,000 lbs
Our standard line tops out at 20,000 lbs. For cruisers, cat-hull boats, and yachts that need more, Econo Lift builds special-order lifts up to 32,000 lbs — engineered to your boat, with the same lifetime warranty and American-made construction.
Heavy-Duty, Built to Order
When 20,000 lbs Isn't Enough
Econo Lift's standard Meridian line covers the vast majority of boats on the water, all the way up to our 20,000 lb side mount (Model 2038HDB). But some boats — large cruisers, sport-fishing boats, and yachts — weigh more than any off-the-shelf lift can safely hold.
For those boats, we build special-order lifts above 20,000 lbs, up to a maximum of 32,000 lbs. These are heavy-duty systems engineered to your specific boat using the exact same materials, warranty, and USA-made construction as the rest of our line. Because we're a family-owned manufacturer and not a corporation, we can build to your requirements and stay competitive on price — often well below what the national brands charge for lifts in this class.
A special order is not the same as "custom." We build heavy-duty lifts to order for boats above 20,000 lbs — we don't design one-off lifts of any type on request. Availability and installation depend on your dealer.

What Fits
Boats That Need a Lift Over 20,000 lbs
We build special-order lifts from just over 20,000 lbs up to a maximum of 32,000 lbs — recent builds include 26,000 lb and 32,000 lb lifts. Almost every special order is for a cruiser, but cat-hull and large offshore boats are right at home too.
By far the most common special order we build. Cabin and day cruisers that sit heavy and deep — beyond what our standard 20,000 lb lift can hold.
Catamaran-hull cruisers and performance boats whose wide stance needs a purpose-built cradle, with the arms and tanks spread to match.
Big offshore boats carrying heavy power, fuel, and gear that push past the standard capacity ceiling.
Pricing
How Much Does a Boat Lift Over 20,000 lbs Cost?
Prices for large-capacity boat lifts and yacht lifts are rarely published, so anyone researching a "30,000 lb boat lift cost" usually comes up empty. We'd rather give you a straight answer: most special-order lifts between 20,000 and 32,000 lbs land in the $30,000 to $45,000 range, depending on capacity, mount type, and configuration.
This is a general estimate for planning only — not a quote. Your exact price depends on your boat, your slip, and your site. Request a special order quote below for a firm number.
