Sunstream Sunlift X Features

The Right Lift for the Right Boat. We'll help you find the perfect fit!

Flawless Hull Fit For Every Boat on British Columbia Waters

Whether you're navigating the interconnected waterways around Sicamous or enjoying the wide-open expanses of Kalamalka Lake, your boat deserves the perfect Sunstream boat lift.

The Sunlift X stands alone as the only hydraulic boat lift featuring adjustable width bunks to achieve an ideal hull fit for virtually any vessel. This isn't just about convenience – it's about protecting your investment.

The innovative SuperBunks™ technology provides:

  • Soft cradling of your hull to prevent pressure points
  • Even weight distribution across the entire bunk
  • Years of reliable performance without wear
  • Spring beam action that creates a comfortable resting spot for any boat type

With an adjustable lifting range of up to 6.5 feet, you can perfectly position your boat regardless of fluctuating water levels – essential for seasonal changes in BC lakes.

Superior Hydraulics Built for BC Conditions

The heart of any hydraulic lift is, naturally, its hydraulic system. Knowing the diverse conditions boaters face in British Columbia – from the variable water levels of Shuswap Lake to the sometimes challenging dock situations in Mara Lake – Sunstream has created a system that never compromises on durability.

The Sunlift X features:

  • All stainless steel cylinders for corrosion resistance
  • Patented shaft boot with scrubber and scraper seal
  • Double braid stainless steel hoses
  • Premium pressure balanced pump offering:
    • 20% greater efficiency than basic fixed gear pumps
    • Higher operating speed
    • Quieter performance
    • Consistent lifting capacity that doesn't diminish over time

The innovative SoftStop™ technology eases hydraulic power at the top of the lift cycle, providing a smooth finish to the lifting operation – no jarring stops that could potentially stress your boat or the lift.

A Modern Frame That's Worthy of Your Boat

Let's be honest – traditional boat lifts are eyesores. The Sunlift X changes this equation with a sleek, modern frame design that showcases your boat rather than detracting from it. For waterfront property owners from Vernon to Kelowna, this means your dock area will look as impressive as the rest of your property.

Beyond aesthetics, the frame delivers superior performance:

  • Enhanced stiffness with cylinders aligned with frame
  • Fewer bolts for cleaner looks and easier maintenance
  • Set bolt system to eliminate movement in the leg socket
  • Market-leading specifications:
    • Highest lifting range
    • Shallowest water depth capability
    • Fastest operating speed
    • Capacity options up to 30,000 lbs

For lakes with seasonal fluctuations – a common challenge in the BC Interior – optional Leg Jacks can provide an additional 3 feet of range adjustment. The over-center GravityLock™ system delivers peace of mind even during extreme weather conditions.

Complete Your System with SwiftShield

While the Sunlift X revolutionizes getting your boat in and out of the water, Sunstream's SwiftShield automatic boat cover system addresses another pain point for BC boaters – protecting your vessel between uses.

Traditional boat covers are cumbersome and time-consuming. With SwiftShield, you can:

  • Deploy or remove your boat cover in just 30 seconds
  • Protect your investment from sun damage, debris, and weather
  • Eliminate the frustration of traditional covers
  • Get on the water faster with less hassle

Bluetooth Technology: Control at Your Fingertips

The Bluetooth system provides:

  • Consistent range and responsive control
  • Important diagnostic information to prevent potential issues
  • Built-in security features to protect your investment
  • "Depressurize" feature ideal for seasonal users

Perfect For British Columbia's Diverse Waterways

The Sunlift X isn't a one-size-fits-all solution – it's adaptable to the unique conditions of British Columbia's lakes and waterways. Whether you're dealing with the shallow areas near the Sicamous narrows or the deeper waters of Okanagan Lake, there's a configuration to meet your needs:
