Know Before You Lift: The Power of StabiLift
In marina environments, every lift is different.
Boat weights vary. Load centers shift. Fuel, water, and gear all impact stability. And unlike traditional material handling, operators aren’t lifting uniform loads — they’re handling dynamic, high-value assets where safety and precision are critical.
That’s exactly why Wiggins developed the patented StabiLift System.
The StabiLift System doesn’t just estimate weight — it measures the true leverage of the load in real time, giving operators a much more accurate understanding of how that boat is affecting the machine.
From there, the system provides immediate, easy-to-understand feedback:
🟢 Green – Well within capacity
🟡 Yellow – Proceed with caution (low height, first gear)
🔴 Red – Lift prevented
This is where StabiLift separates itself from traditional load management systems.
Most forklifts rely on static capacity charts — assuming ideal conditions that rarely exist in a marina. StabiLift accounts for real-world variables, helping operators make safer decisions in real time.
Why does this matter?
Because the risks in marina operations are significant:
• Overloading a machine can lead to tip-over events • Improper lifting can damage boats worth hundreds of thousands (or more) • Operator visibility and load balance constantly change with each lift
StabiLift addresses these challenges directly by removing operator guesswork and replacing it with data-driven, factory-calibrated limits.
Even more importantly, it builds consistency across your operation. Whether you have a seasoned operator or someone newer to marina equipment, the system reinforces safe lifting practices every single time.
One of the biggest advantages?
If there’s ever a question about whether a boat can be safely handled, you don’t have to rely on judgment alone. The machine tells you.
In an industry where margins, safety, and customer assets all matter, systems like StabiLift aren’t just helpful — they’re essential.
