Re: Odd Travel Lift
It's amazing how small that unit looks considering it's a 30 ton. Thanks for sharing the pics.

There's a LOT of boat hanging out past that back sling and the balance had to be just forward of that sling. Seems like both slings should have been 6-8' farther aft, especially if backing down a ramp.
Nice boat btw!!
Larger boats are marked where the slings are designed to be by the manufacturer and those slings are on the marks. If you look at the shafts, any farther back and you would be lifting on the shafts causing damaged to them. What you do not see is when the operator starts going down the ramp he keeps the boat level at all times by either raising the rear or lowering the front or a combination of the 2.
Take a look at this picture where you can see the sailboat is level with the water even though he is on the ramp.

Don't know why not, with the exchange rate it would only cost you $5k US
