Nova Lift™ Rail-Mounted Lifting Arm
Stainless Steel
Nova Lift™ was designed specifically to handle the task of loading and unloading heavy stores and equipment on sailboats. Now, by teaming your existing cockpit winch power with Nova Lift™, you can safely and easily accomplish these tasks. Using a typical size 32, two-speed self-tailing winch or similar with a 10" winch handle, Nova Lift™ will lift 200 lbs. and require only 13 lbs. of winch handle pressure. (Second speed.) Note: Safe maximum load not to exceed 220 lbs. (Upper arm distortion occurs at 430 lbs. However, the stern rail must be able to sustain a side load of 50% of the lift load.)
Forespar's Nova products combine elegant styling with superb strength and function. The patented Nova Lift™ uses internally led purchase to keep the lifting arm centered over the load. Other brands swing left and right without control. Another valuable feature is the internal lead to your cockpit winch, where you have loads of lifting power to make the job easy! No external block & tackle.
With Nova Lift™, the sailor can now lift a 15hp outboard easily and safely with far less risk to his topsides, often performing the task single-handed. No longer risk overnight loss of your valuable outboard in an unsavory anchorage because it was too much of a struggle to haul aboard that night. The list of uses is endless, including generators, batteries, dive equipment, large pets, large fish, fuel & water jugs, propane bottles, stores, etc.
Nova Lift™ comes with a stainless steel lower mounting tube that will accommodate 30" height rails. Vessels with rails higher than 30" will require the use of a deck pad (not included) to raise the installation to the proper height.
