Cat trailer range expanded
French company Nautipark has delivered its first 50 tonne slipway trailer for catamarans up to 21m (70ft). The model
expands the Parklev range, which is suited to catamarans of 20 tonnes/15m (50ft) and 30 tonnes/18m (60ft).
According to Nautipark’s Vincent
Harnois, trailers are amongst the
company’s best-sellers. “The greatest
product interest is for boat stands to suit
all types of boats – we’ve just completed
our first ever container shipment to
the USA as a follow up to our success
in Europe and Oceania. But sales
are building for our hydraulic trailers,
especially the catamaran versions as
this is a growing market with few good
solutions.”
Export success is a given for a
company that prides itself on selling
cradles, storage and handling solutions
to the global market. The company
estimates that 98 per cent of the world’s
leisure boats can be safely cradled
by one of two specially developed
Electric and traditional –

Forging ahead with electric boat hoist technology, Italian handling and lifting
expert Cimolai Technology is reinforcing its presence in marinas and yards in
Europe and North America.
Mobile boat hoists, able to lift vessels
up to 1,500 tonnes, are the rising stars
in the machinery portfolio and there are
currently many orders on the books for
Nautipark cradles
and that the
models can save
up to 50 per cent
of yard space.
Hydraulic
slipway trailers
are easy to
use, versatile,
efficient and
require minimal
maintenance.
They can transport
motor, sail and
catamaran vessels
and have remote
control operation.
In addition to the Parklev range,
Quicklev trailers are popular for
600, 700, 850 and 1,150 tonne models.

The company also manufactures
and sells small and medium sized
hoists and has recently supplied a 140
tonne model to Willis Marine in New
York and an MBH 145 tonne telescopic
version to Lauderdale Maritime Center

Monaco Marine in Antibes, France and
other 100 tonne machines are due for
delivery to operators in Spain, Turkey
and elsewhere in France.
