HYDRAULIC SAIL ARM PACKAGE

Con-o-lift marine hydraulic trailers are designed to handle most powerboats, and sailboats on cradles without the use of hydraulic arms.

Our optional sail arm package, availaible with all trailer models, features hydraulic arms with variable position pads to support the hull of your noncradled sailboats. These pads are mounted with a ball and socket assembly, allowing the pad to pivot as required to match the angle of the hull.

The forward arms are mounted to the front frames of the trailer, and are moveable along the length of the forward frame, allowing a greater range of vessels to be handled with the same trailer. A simple crank assembly easily slides these arms fore and aft, to be locked in position where required to properly support the bow of the vessel being handled.

The aft arms are actually a hinged portion of the rear trailer frame, which rotates upward to meet the stern of the hull being transported. The socket-mounted pads can be adjusted inward or outward as necessary for wide or narrow beam vessels. For larger vessels, a mid set of arms can also be added to large yard and self propelled trailers for greater stability.

The weight of the vessel is supported on adjustable aluminum keel bars, suspended between the side frames of the trailer. These light-weight bars can be adjusted as necessary for shoal draft or deep keel vessels. The hydraulic frame lift design ensures the load is carried with the center of gravity as low as possible, while allowing for plenty of clearance on uneven terrain.

Our clean, open-frame design and hydraulic expanding-width frames ensure that even the beamiest vessels can be transported safely. Wing keel designs can also be handled easily with our unique, wide inside frame clearance.
