Boat Lift Removal in Shellman Bluff, GA

Boats and docks are as much a part of this end of McIntosh County as the houses are, so an old lift is a familiar sight at the end of a walkway: one that hasn’t held a boat in a few seasons, or a cradle nobody has trusted since the cables started to fray.

For a newer home out at Sutherland Bluff looking over the marsh, the work runs the way that neighborhood expects. The gate gets coordinated ahead of time, the truck parks where it won’t bother the neighbors or mark up the driveway, and the walkway and the yard are left the way they were. When the crew pulls out, the only thing missing from the dock is the lift.

Lift work takes more planning than a couch call, so the photos do a lot of the work: the kind of lift, whether it’s still mounted, and how far it is from where the truck can stop.

Whether it’s still mounted makes the biggest difference. A freestanding cradle or a lift that’s already down in the yard comes apart and goes on the truck. A lift still on the dock is taken down in sections, as light demolition, so each piece can be carried up the walkway instead of dragged.

Where a lift is tied into pilings or wired to power at the dock, that part is handled the right way for that particular job, and your photos tell us what it takes.

Send us a few photos and tell us what you need removed. We’ll take it from there.

Every piece comes off the property on our truck, and where it goes from there depends on what it is.

Aluminum and galvanized steel make up most of a lift, and that metal usually goes to scrap recycling, often at SA Recycling in Brunswick.

Rotted bunks, frayed cable and anything else that isn’t metal go where they properly belong.
