On superyachts, chief engineers are the first line of defence when it comes to identifying problems with onboard lifts. Whether the vessel is equipped with a hydraulic cargo lift, a sleek cylindrical guest lift, or a compact dumbwaiter, the chief engineer is the one who can identify potential issues that may have been observed by other crew members. Although at HML, we perform annual inspections and provide certification for the next 12-18 months, engineers can flag any issues between visits or request further support. Noticing these early warning signs can help prevent them from becoming operational failures.
Servicing yacht lifts across international waters presents unique logistical challenges. Our technicians travel to locations spanning Florida, Italy, France, Spain, and beyond, ensuring lifts remain fully operational for superyachts and working vessels alike. Each visit requires careful planning, including flights, visas, accommodations, and spare parts. All of these elements are carefully coordinated to ensure efficiency and minimise unnecessary downtime. In some cases, a part needs to be sourced locally or shipped internationally, which demands flexibility and fast problem-solving to minimise downtime.
In the demanding world of offshore operations, lift maintenance is about far more than convenience; it’s a matter of safety, efficiency, and reliability. Whether on board a drilling platform or a naval support vessel, offshore lifts endure extreme conditions and heavy daily use, making regular maintenance essential.
With a new build project, a yacht lift must be designed and engineered with precision, styled to complement the interior, and maintained for long-term performance at sea. Holland Marine Lifts are a trusted name in marine lifts with decades of experience in building and servicing bespoke systems.
Onboard is evolving, and so is the demand for intelligent design. Today, the superyacht lift is no longer just a practical feature; it’s a statement of style and seamless engineering. At HML, we specialise in the design, installation, and maintenance of every kind of custom yacht lift, redefining how guests, supplies and provisions move onboard. Our tailored approach combines aesthetic finesse with technical excellence, setting a new standard for bespoke yacht lift solutions in the luxury maritime sector.
From cruising a superyacht around the Mediterranean to naval and offshore platforms operating around the clock, lift systems play a critical role in ensuring safe and seamless movement onboard.
