PRODUCTS & SERVICES Floating dock for cost-effective maintenance A new generation Boat Service Lift (BSL) has recently been released by Italia Marine to complement its proven Marine Service Lift (MSL). A floating dock system, the BSL gives the yard operator the opportunity to work on a vessel hull or its propulsion system without using up valuable land space, paying expensive diving contractors, risking water pollution or relying on cranes, hoists or trolley supports. Ideal as an alternative to a boat hoist for small and medium sized boats (up to 20 tonnes), especially when quick jobs (20 minutes) are required, the BSL can be moved from place to place as it requires no permanent quayside installation. This means the operator will likely avoid the permissions processes usually required for hauling and landing vessels for maintenance. Further savings in both time and money are considerable. Key benefits include: fast lift out; immediate ease of use; very low running costs as less than 0.8kWh of power is required per lift; and lower purchase and installation costs in comparison to other traditional lifting systems. The BSL platform is manufactured from extremely high quality materials. All floating parts are made from high density polyethylene and the structure from hot dip galvanised steel. It can be used to haul out a wide variety of motor vessels and is moored according to the requirements and characteristics of the site. The system can be equipped with various optional accessories: a pressurised water distribution system for a power washer; a compressed air system for pneumatic tools; an underwater lighting system for 24-hour platform operation; and a collection system for production waste with containment and aspiration tank. The BSL enables the boat yard or marina operator to offer customers an attractive additional service that reduces boat downtime.

The order was placed while Bellingham Marine installs 110 additional wet berths and upgrades 35 visitor berths. M-Tech is also providing 20 of its bespoke fire stations (right) in epoxy and powder coated flame red marine grade aluminium. The customer selected the all-new ‘alu panel’ high gloss finish for its XL pedestals. This latest offering comes with a minimum of 10 years guarantee and is designed to withstand temperatures from -50 to +80°. “The XL pedestal is the longest serving marina pedestal in the world today,” says M-Tech general manager, Darren Wilkinson. “The first XL was manufactured in 1979, over 36 years ago, and it is still in service today. It’s amazing that we still have people call up our sales department and ask for spare parts for a 30 year old unit, which of course we’re happy to supply. And we are constantly asked to replace glass fibre, weak plastic and foamed PVC boarded units that have simply fallen apart in the heat.” The XL has undergone many changes over the years including recently complying with all UL approvals for sale within the USA and regaining its 357U and 3025N2 yellow card status. All M-Tech pedestals hold the same UL ratings and are licensed for sale in any country.
