Boat Lift

[dianamay]

Advice please. Nearest gantry lift on to transport for a 57 foot narrow boat- approx. 16tons currently in

Stoke on Trent. Or possible crane hire in that vicinity for same purpose. Thanks in anticipation

Aqueduct Marina near Chuch Minshull has the facilities. See Aqueductmarina.co.uk

 

 

A few miles down the A500 to Stoke. Sorry, you are going the other way! Bit further by canal!

Thanks Ditchcrawler. That's where the boat is. They have no onsite crane facilities but will hire one in. I`m thinking of the

logistics of a water trip to a marina with a gantry lift as my first choice but all advice gratefully received.

We had our new used 70ft boat craned onto Lorry at Aqueduct Marina last week. £410

 

We used Ray Bowern Transport. excellent and personal service.

Hi Markinaboat. Have been in touch with Ray. Promising but still looking for a possible crane.

Have you tried Fullers yard in stone?

Have tried to contact Fullers. Email rejected no response as yet to answer phone message left.

The Fuller yard can't lift on to or from road transport

[dianamay]

Thank you Jay4424. Would have been nice for them to tell me. Who knows whether I might have put business their way in the future

Mmmm!!!!

They're a busy lot, I expect they've over looked your message by accident rather than actively not responded.

 

Sorry that you didn't get a response sooner.

 

 

I believe that the boat yard up the Caldon do lifts on to transport, but don't quote me on that

I can supply contact details for the Fullers if it helps, however as said their crane/yard such that lifting a boat to a lorry is not really practical.

 

To be honest I can't think of very many places with a 'mobile gantry crane' type lifting set up, there is one and Wincham Whalf near Northwich if that is near enough for you?

There is a boat lift at Anderton, I believe.

 

Better go and make a cup of coffee.

The only boat yard up the Caldon is Stoke On Trent Boat club. They used to get a crane in a couple of times a year to lift their members boats out over the winter.

Aston Marina at Stone can get them out of the water using a cradle and a tractor, they have a concrete ramp at the end of the marina.

Seen plenty of boats craned in and out there. Alex is the marina manager.

I wondered that when we came passed the other day, can they drop them onto lorries with it?
