The Gold Coast City Marina (GCCM) in Queensland, Australia has expanded its operations with the addition of a new Marine Travelift 50 BFMII boat hoist.

The acquisition follows a period of consultation with Marina Projects Ltd, a specialist Marine Travelift dealer. “The marina recognized and appreciated the quality of Marine Travelift’s equipment,” said Malcolm Fisher, sales manager at Marina Projects. “They realise the value in owning equipment that’s going to last as their business continues to grow.”

Steve Sammes, general manager at Gold Coast City Marina commented about the new machine. “The GCCM facility sees around 3,000 boats per year coming through the shipyard, so our equipment needs to be of the highest quality and reliability.”

The hoist has been modified to allow the lifting of larger yachts without the need to remove any rigging.

Sammes added:

“The versatile 50 BFMII ticks all the boxes for our operators, the machine performs beautifully, with extremely smooth hydraulic controls. Our customers often comment on how quiet the machine is when running and are amazed as to how smoothly their vessels are lifted out from the water. All in all, it really compliments our professional standards within the shipyard operations here.”
