Perhaps the most simple of the cable lifts; 4-piling lifts use four stand alone pilings to hang the cable lift system. The pilings are usually located adjacent to a dock or bulkhead, can be a variety of heights, and do not have a roof or other protective covering. A galvanized steel or aluminum beam is fastened across two pilings, a second beam joins them together, attached to each of the beams are a motor and gear drive that use a wire cable and a drive pipe to raise and lower the boat cradle.  Electricity must be run, usually under water, to the two pilings with motors.  

Although it is expensive to install the pilings, these lifts are durable and versatile. The pilings range in size, taller pilings keep the boat above tides and storm surges; short and un-obstructive pilings are used where water level variations are minimal.  The lift system is easily visible and can be serv iced as necessary, this is important because the system and any boat in the cradle are always exposed to the elements.
