How many watercraft can the Double Charge hold?

The Double Charge carries two personal watercraft on one fully-decked platform, or a single jet boat or other small watercraft up to 14 feet long. It is rated to 4,500 pounds total. For a single ski, the Jolt 1,100 lb is the compact option.

Can the Double Charge hold a jet boat?

Yes. The standard 12 foot frame holds a jet boat up to 14 feet, and a 16 foot frame option is available for jet boats and v-hull boats up to 16 feet long.

What size slip does the Double Charge need, and how does it mount?

It is a front-mount lift with slip sizes from 9 to 14 feet. Front mounting means it does not need to attach along both sides of the slip.

Is the platform decked?

Yes. The entire platform is finished with full composite decking, which gives you a clean, durable, non-slip surface and makes boarding and stepping off your watercraft safer.

The Econo Lift Double Charge 4,500 lb is our double personal watercraft lift, a front-mount platform that raises two PWCs, a jet boat, or other small watercraft up to 14 feet long on one fully-decked surface. Rated to 4,500 pounds, it is the step up for households that run more than one ski.

A full composite deck spans the entire platform, so boarding and stepping off is stable and secure and there is a clean, durable surface underfoot. The Double Charge front-mounts with slip sizes from 9 to 14 feet, and it is also available in a 16 foot frame to carry jet boats and v-hull boats up to 16 feet.

Like every Econo Lift, the Double Charge is built at our family-owned facility in Camdenton, Missouri, using USA-sourced hot-dip galvanized steel above the waterline and our own rotationally molded flotation tank. It is not imported.

Specifications

Specifications, explained

Single flotation tank (7' x 8' x 2')

8' x 12' composite-decked platform

The entire platform is finished with composite decking, giving you a clean, durable, non-slip surface for boarding two watercraft. The standard frame is 12 feet long.

Front mount, slip size 9 to 14 feet

Front mounting means the lift does not need to attach along both sides of a slip, and it fits slips from 9 to 14 feet wide.

Engineering & Materials

100% virgin plastic tankMolded from pure polyethylene with no added dyes, pigments, or fillers, so there is nothing in the material to break down over time.

Rotationally moldedThe tank is formed as one solid piece with no seams or welds, the points where cheaper tanks crack and leak.

Full composite deckingA composite deck spans the whole platform for a clean, durable, low-maintenance surface and safer boarding of two watercraft.

USA hot-dip galvanized steelEvery steel component above the waterline is fully galvanized for corrosion resistance that paint cannot match.

Consistent zinc coatingAn even zinc layer is the front line against rust in and around the water.

UHMW plastic bushingsUltra-high molecular weight bushings keep the moving joints turning smoothly, season after season, without corroding.

GFCI protectionA ground fault circuit interrupter guards against electrical shock at the water's edge, standard on every lift.

16 foot frame optionA longer frame is available to carry jet boats and v-hull boats up to 16 feet.
