FloatPlane Lift
Sunlift - Dock Jock - Float Plane Lifts - Canopies - Float Lifts

Removing the barriers of water flying
Sunstream applies the same innovation in design and engineering to our
quality floatplane platforms and lifts. You have a choice of the revolutionary
SpinLift ™, fixed platform lifts, or amphibian bunk kits, all operated
by remote control. The Sunstream SpinLift ™ has an upper platform mounted
on a turntable, which allows simple launching and landing of a floatplane
Ease of Use
From the cockpit, easily lower or raise your lift using the handy remote
control. When returning, the deck is ramped when in the lowered position
to assist in landing
Sloped ramp for easier docking
The fixed platform lift slopes when lowered to create a natural ramp.
Safety, versatility, and security
The SpinLift turntable offers 360 degree rotation for easier pre-flight inspection and maintenance.
Safe and secure hull support
The amphibian lift provides dual catwalks for easy boarding and a rotating tail support to secure 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.
