Kent, Wash. – Sunstream® Boat Lifts, the leading manufacturer of premium boat lifts and the SwiftShield™ Automatic Boat Cover System, announced today that its revolutionary LiftBar™, in addition to being recognized with the 2025 Miami International Boat Show Innovation Award in the Docking and Fendering Equipment category and being named by Boating Industry as a 2025 Top Product, has received exceptional reception from customers and installers alike.
The Sunstream LiftBar has features customers love, with ultra-high speed, hidden structure and no sway in the up position.
“The sheer versatility of design and the way it can be installed on fixed pilings and integrated into floating docks is completely unique,” said Cal Baker, DockTechs. “We love the option to use either solar power or standard DC power to eliminate high cost electrical. In addition, most four post lifts need to have pilings in very specific spots but with LiftBar you have very wide tolerances fore and aft of the boat as well as laterally which makes the install infinitely easier.”
“The fact that the LiftBar is preassembled when delivered eliminates so much setup and simplifies installation,” said Gary Zervas, AdironDocks. “Customers appreciate the versatility; it is able to be installed in shallow or deep water. And the price point is a tremendous value with all the features – it’s like having the best ten features of all the lifts on the market all in one package.”
The award-winning LiftBar is the first boat lift to incorporate a screw jack-based lifting mechanism that is all housed in one tube, to deliver high speed, a hidden structure, no sway, increased reliability and enhanced submergibility. Because of its contained design, the lift is submersible which enables it to be installed out of sight at dock level and provides peace-of-mind in extreme environments. The entire lifting mechanism of the LiftBar is hidden within a 6- by 7-inch bar with contained hoses and no external powerpack that needs to sit on the dock. The top lid has traction stripes, matching the details of the lifting cradle. A walkable solar lid option is also available. The port and starboard LiftBar mechanisms come pre-assembled for fast and easy installation, and they are ready to bolt on to pilings, to a fixed dock or to a floating dock by hand without the need for a crane. The lift is controlled by a long-range Bluetooth transmitter, a control panel, as well as a smartphone app.
“The reception to the LiftBar has been incredible,” said Ken Hey, CEO of Sunstream Boat Lifts. “We aimed to not just make the boating experience easier, but to make the installation and maintenance of the lift easier as well. This makes it a solid product, providing great value, ease of use and a real time saver for installers. It’s a win for everyone!”
