I have never heard a lock described as a "boat lift". There are boat lifts, such as the one at Anderton in Cheshire, which are large mechanical devices which can replace a set of locks - usually needing less space than the locks themselves. Librarian16 (talk) 21:04, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
This page is filled with self-promotion from several companies, especially portableboatlift.com. --173.74.171.218 (talk) 01:36, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Portable Boat Lift edit
There is a Boat Lift category at Wikipedia and a Portable Boat Lift Category at Wikipedia. I put information in regarding a portable boat lift as they had no information about a Boat Lift that was truly portable and made every attempt to be objective, I went so far as to add Yardarm information as it was the only other portable, as defined by wikipedia as portable, that existed. Boat Lifts installed in the water are not portable. You can move a house but it is not portable. I resent the self serving/promoting accusation made. If you can find information to better describe the heading than I tried to write please do so.
I'd tag the article to be merged, but the boat lift article only describes mechanical alternatives to locks. It seems that portable boat lifts serve a different purpose.--Koppas (talk) 17:41, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Should be merged to Shiplift; will fix bad link to Boatlift. See rename proposal at Talk Boat Lift.165.121.80.132 (talk) 23:55, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
