Sunstream Boat Lifts Offers Redesigned Hydraulic Pumps in SunLiftX

Sunstream^® Boat Lifts, the leading manufacturer of premium boat lifts and the SwiftShield™ Automatic Boat Cover System, announced it has completely redesigned its hydraulic pumps for greater reliability and durability for its existing freestanding hydraulic boat lift product line, newly minted as the SunLift X.

“We set out to design the highest performing, most reliable hydraulic pump not only in the boat lift industry, but in the marine industry,” said Ken Hey, CEO, Sunstream. “If you are going to make the best pizza, you need to start with the best ingredients. The SunLift X lift line features a brand-new hydraulic pump that uses the best quality Bosch valves, solenoids and components made in Germany and Italy and assembled in the United States at Sunstream’s facility in Kent, Washington. Sunstream also is introducing a new Quick Disconnect coupling, with ultra-high reliability, maximum flow and with knurled grooves and wrench flats that make them easy to connect. The new coupling is ultra corrosion resistant with zinc nickel plating. The pressure balanced pump (vs gear pump) provides upward of 20% more speed and efficiency and has a smoother sound.”

To prevent hydraulic lock, which this category of lifts experience when pressuring in the down position, Sunstream added a pressure relief valve to the lowering side in addition to the raising side. The pump is also designed to accept bolt-on manifolds for either the SwiftShield automatic boat cover, or the FloatLift.
