What is a Piling Pad?
A Piling Pad is an optional components used in SwingStoppers unique storm protection system. Mounted to each piling, a Piling Pad connects the I-Beam to the piling via using a simple swinging u-bolt connection. The Piling Pad allows for a quick connect/disconnect of the I-Beam and the piling.
I have an Elevator lift. Will SwingStoppers work on our lift?
NO, Elevator lifts do not swing like cradle lifts do in a storm. SwingStoppers only supports 4, 6 or 8 Piling Cradle Arm Boat lifts. I.E. lifts that hang from wire at 4 points.
SwingStoppers work on a boat lift with Concrete Pilings?
YES, Our system will work on concrete piling in the same way as wood pilings. The only difference will be how we attach the SwingStoppers to the Pilings.
On quote sheet what is meant by “Measure the distance between pulley and white Pole.”
For our standard Options we require 7inches between the edge to the piling and the edge of the white pole. The best way to measure this distance is to Pin a piece of string to one piling and run it to the far piling. (Pull Tight) Now you can measure the distance between the string and the mounting bracket of the white pole.
What happens if I do not have any space from piling to the white pole?
We have an Option that provides a modified Cradle Bracket that will enable us to place the white pole on top of the Cradle Bracket, eliminating the space limitation.
My Boat lift has an angled Cradle I-Beam. Will SwingStoppers work on my lift?
Yes we have an option that will enable us to accommodate the angle.
