Built for a lake that moves

Lake Murray's water level rises and falls through the year, and that shapes how docks and lifts are built and how they wear.

Summer levelLifts and docks have to handle full pool in the busy boating season.
Winter drawdownLower water can leave lifts and ramps at awkward angles, and exposes shoreline.
Storms and wakesThunderstorms, wind, and heavy boat traffic all add wear.

Types of boat lifts

Knowing what kind of lift you have helps when you call for service.

Lift typeHow it works
Vertical liftA motor and cables raise the boat straight up. Very common on fixed and floating docks.
Cantilever liftA lever arm raises the boat in an arc. Often manual or simpler motors.
Floating liftAir chambers or pontoons raise the boat and rise and fall with the lake. Popular where water levels change.
Hydraulic liftHydraulic cylinders raise the boat smoothly and quickly.

Lake Murray living

With hundreds of miles of shoreline spread across Lexington, Richland, Saluda, and Newberry counties, Lake Murray is lined with private docks and boat lifts. Keeping them working means fewer lost weekends in boating season.

Spring is the busiest time for lift and dock work, as owners get ready for summer. Calling early, or scheduling repairs during the off season, can mean a shorter wait.

Common questions

My boat lift won't go up. What should I check?

Check the breaker and the GFCI outlet first. If power is fine, the problem may be the motor, a cable, the winch, or the switch. Call for a repair.

Why are floating docks so common on Lake Murray?

The lake's water level changes through the year. Floating docks and lifts rise and fall with it, so they keep working at both high and low water.

Do I need a permit for a new dock or lift?

New docks and many shoreline structures need approval under Lake Murray's shoreline management rules. A local contractor typically handles it.

Do you install new lifts as well as repair them?

Yes. Repairs, new lifts, replacement lifts, and PWC lifts are all available.

Which parts of the lake do you serve?
