Air-Dock manufactures inflatable boat lifts and dry-dock storage systems engineered to accommodate boats scaling up to 24,000 lbs and 47 feet in length. The company constructs these units from Coast Guard approved, high-strength Elvaloy material, which undergoes radio frequency welding to form a low-pressure cushion of air capable of lifting a boat out of the water securely.
Operation relies on a free-floating design requiring no permanent structural installations or specialized contractors. Users submerge the lift chambers in the center while keeping internal chambers inflated, pull a boat onto the platform identically to entering a standard slip, and secure the setup using normal dock lines.
A simple three-valve control box governs the inflation of each individual chamber, raising the hull in minutes. This mechanism functions effectively across both fresh and saltwater environments, withstanding environmental exposure while maintaining structural integrity.
Compatibility extends to a wide array of boat types, including jet boats, inboard configurations, pontoons, and tri-toons. Additional frame kits address unique docking situations, while the free-floating architecture adapts to nearly any standard dock setup.
Keeping hulls elevated out of the water reduces algae accumulation and marine growth, eliminating the necessity for antifouling paint. Since 1999, the brand has supplied thousands of units worldwide, offering a self-installable alternative to permanent infrastructure.
