Hastings Marine Construction is the DECO Boat Lifts dealer for Delmarva — lifts selected for your boat, and installed on piling sized for the lift.
“I want the boat out of the water between trips.”
Hastings Marine Construction is the DECO Boat Lifts dealer for Delmarva. DECO is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-performance boat lift systems, and its lifts are built in marine-grade aluminum with stainless steel hardware.
We help you choose the series, configuration and capacity that suit your boat and your waterfront — and then we install it, on piling we drive for the job. Pile driving is what this company has done since 1980.
Standard lift piling is 10-inch butt or 8-inch tip. Large-capacity lifts are set on Class B piling. Final piling selection is specific to the lift and the site, and if existing piling doesn’t suit the application, new piling is part of the job.
The DECO lineup
Every DECO configuration we sell and install, with the rated capacities DECO publishes for it.
Overhead-beam lift for lighter to mid-range boats, with full-length carpeted bunks as standard.
Overhead-beam lift with DECO’s sealed gearbox, built for fast, quiet operation across a wide capacity range.
Direct drive with no chains, belts or pulleys, and DECO’s patented Cable Retention System as standard.
DECO’s flagship: no upper beams and no underwater cabling, for unobstructed access and view.
For narrow canals, limited frontage or where piling can’t be used — seawall, piling or dock mount.
Custom-engineered for a boathouse, eliminating extra piling inside it; new construction or retrofit.
Raises a decked platform that sits flush with the finished dock height when lowered.
Stationary and Swinger single lifts, Maxi PWC and Dual PWC on aluminum tracks.
Depending on the series: solar package; TEC remote control, with or without auto-stop; DECO’s Cable Retention System where it is not already standard; full-length aluminum or carpeted bunks; aluminum and high-density plastic chock bunking; angled lowers on one side for shallow-water applications; hi-speed motors; PWC walkways and extended tracks.
Series, capacities and features are taken from DECO’s current product documentation at decoboatlift.com. DECO may change specifications; we confirm current details with every quote.
