Why Do I Need A Lift Mate Device?

Managing your boat lift shouldn’t be a hassle—and with the Lift Mate device, it isn’t. Whether you're heading out for the day or coming back in, Lift Mate lets you control your boat lift from anywhere, right from your phone. As long as you have cellular service, you can log into the app, tap the “Down” button, and by the time you arrive at your dock, your lift is ready and waiting.

No more waiting for your remote to connect. No more standing around while your lift slowly lowers. Just convenience, speed, and control—wherever you are.

Smart Features That Work for You

Lift Mate isn’t just about remote control. It’s also packed with helpful features that make boating safer and easier:

• Live Video Feed – Get a real-time view of your lift area with motion detection and night vision.

• Security Alerts – Instant notifications if movement is detected around your lift, helping deter theft or tampering.

• Boarding Mode – Set the lift to your ideal height for easy access every time you return.

Why Not Leave Your Lift Down?

Some boat owners ask, “Can’t I just leave my lift submerged while I’m out on the water?” Technically, yes—but it comes with serious risks. Leaving your lift in the water for extended periods can cause:

• Hazards for other vessels – A submerged lift can become a collision risk.

• Faster wear on components – Wooden bunks degrade more quickly underwater.

• Bio-growth and corrosion – Constant submersion accelerates algae buildup and galvanic corrosion, which wears down metal parts and reduces lift performance.

A Reliable Backup When You Need It

One of the biggest perks of Lift Mate is that it acts as a backup system. If your keychain remote battery dies or your lift’s control panel stops working, the Lift Mate app still allows full operation—keeping you in control no matter what.
