LOTO lift - LT model - looking for a boat lift (Rhino? Hydrohoist?)

[swatski]

Anyone here with experience - good or bad?

Looking at the LT model, supposedly best lifts for rough water. I'm on a river, my docks are floating and I need a lift that is side, not front, mounted.
I looked and looked, wanted to find something used but that just has taken forever. Costs about the same as a Hydrohoist, 6-7k installed, but I like the LOTO Lift guys best, at least over the phone, lol.

HAHA - I read it as "Lock Out/Tag Out" lift.... I thought you were working on it

I've definitely never seen one or used one but after having watched a video about it it looks interesting. What's the cost of that. Are the pumps on the side just air pumps?

Basically, those are pretty similar to full fledged ShoreMaster Rhino or Hydrohoist. Priced pretty close, too, I have one quote for 6k for the LT, and then the Rhino or Hydrohoist are 6-7k. All installed. So - same difference.
I really liked the LOTO Lift (LT lift) guys on the phone, and they have reasonable track record, about as good as anyone else in that tough business.

Rhino is more local (dealer) and seems solid, I did not particularly care for the Hydrohoist dealer around me.

I stopped looking for a used one because I was getting nowhere and had a couple of WTF experiences.
