After the engine is warmed up, the pilot lowers the lift from the cockpit with a small remote control key chain transmitter, and powers off the lift. Upon returning, the plane is instantly secured by raising the platform using the remote control. The deck is ramped in the lowered position, which can be used to stop the plane. Accessories Sunstream offers a wide selection of accessories for your floatplane lift including boat bunks, guide-on's, lighting packages with lift and dock lights, and a fiberglass platform grate which provides a walking surface in the center of the platform. Fixed Platform Lifts Our fixed platform floatplane lifts feature the same high quality construction and innovation as the Spin Lift, but without the turntable.
Remote control is also a standard feature.
The fixed platform slopes down when lowered, creating a natural 'ramp' upon which docking is a breeze. Finally, the design simplicity makes for easy assembly and installation.
