Thai marina buys biggest
‘Bull’ in Asia Pacific
Royal Phuket Marina in Thailand has taken delivery of the largest Wiggins
Marina Bull in Asia Pacific. The all-new, one-of-a-kind forklift can lift boats up
to 15m (49ft) in length with up to three outboard engines.
Following the success of its first
drystack, the marina opened a second
premium, fully-covered drystack
earlier this year and worked closely
with the Wiggins Lift team in California
to develop the new machine. “Royal
Phuket Marina is the marina of
choice for many luxury sailing and
motor yachts and we saw the need
for professional drystack and lifting
facilities catering to powerboats in the
10 to 50ft [3 to 15m] range – something
that wasn’t being catered for in Phuket,”
said Royal Phuket Marina chairman
Gulu Lalvani.
In addition to the size and weight
specifications, the forklift has been
fitted with a number of preventative
maintenance technologies as well as
HD forward-facing cameras and remote
control mast operation.
With two drystacks, hardstand space
and wet berths, the marina now has
capacity for 216 boats up to 35m (115ft)
in length and is served by two Wiggins
Bulls and a 50 ton boat hoist. Galvani
confirms that since the introduction
of the second drystack the marina
has seen an increase in enquiries,
particularly from owners in Singapore,
Hong Kong, China, India and Malaysia.

Wiggins partners with XL Lifts
XL Lifts, a specialist in zero and low emission forklifts, is partnering with
Wiggins Lift Company to distribute the Wiggins Marina eBull (see Marina World
November/December 2018) west of the Mississippi River (excluding Texas)
and in the Great Lakes region. Taylor Machine Works will continue to distribute
Wiggins marina products in all other regions.
Wiggins director of sales, Micah
McDowell, commented: “We are
excited to work with our dealer XL
Lifts to help make the next generation
of green marinas a reality. Marinas
no longer need to choose between
high-performance and energy-efficient
forklifts; they can now have them both.”
“Wiggins is once again leading the
charge in marina forklift innovation,”
added XL Lifts president, Mike Marzahl.
“The new Marina eBull will significantly
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
sound pollution while providing marinas
and boatyards with the horsepower
required to run their operations.”
