A modular floating platform connector includes a connecting unit with a hollow center chamber that has one or more inside diameters. The chamber may have wall surfaces to secure components to modular floating platforms. The connector may further incorporate one or more external features such as a collar and retaining ribs that engage with the connecting tabs on modular floating platform float modules to securely hold the float modules together and to retain attachment members of accessories, fixtures, structures and other components to modular floating platforms.

A weight distribution and stiffening system is provided for modular floating platforms by creating internal channels that allow for the incorporation of stiffening members within the modular floating platform assembly. Float modules with horizontal recessed areas that are aligned with adjacent float modules to create open channels within the body of a modular floating platform.

A boat lifting device for lifting a ship, such as a motorboat, a utility boat, a prefabricated rubber boat, a shipping boat, a cruise yacht, or a dinghy yacht, above the surface or for floating the same on the surface and, more particularly, to a boat lifting device operated by a hydraulic cylinder, air, water pressure, a worm gear, or a rotor.

The present invention relates to a boat lift device for lifting a ship, such as a motorboat, a utility boat, a prefabricated rubber boat, a shipping boat, a cruise yacht, or a dinghy yacht, above the surface or for floating the same on the surface and, more particularly, to a boat lift device operated by a hydraulic cylinder, air, water pressure, a worm gear, or a rotor. A device for floating a ship or lifting an immersed boat according to the present invention is configured such that, when the ship is fully lifted above the surface, the lower portion of a lifting assembly is not immersed below the surface, and load transfer portions of buoyancy tanks are not abraded, thereby ensuring excellent durability and natural, smooth operation of the buoyancy tanks. In addition, the device for floating a ship or lifting an immersed boat according to the present invention has a reduced radius of rotation of the buoyancy tanks, or the lifting assembly ascends/descends vertically in an elevator type while the buoyancy tanks are floating on water, thereby improving the space usability of the place at which the boat lift device is installed, and making the locking means and the lifting assembly simple. Furthermore, the device for floating a ship or lifting an immersed boat according to the present invention guarantees that, even when a ship is lifted or lowered on a predetermined rock face or at a fixed marina mooring facility, the interval between the buoyancy tanks does not increase at all, thereby substantially improving space usability.

A personal water craft (PWC) dock has a molded platform, the platform having a main section with its upper surface contoured to provide an elongate recess extending the length of the platform. The recess is shaped and dimensioned to receive and support the hull of a PWC, the recess being asymmetrically located towards one side of the platform. A raised walkway deck section extends the length of the platform and is located towards the other side of the platform, the walkway deck section being located over a buoyancy chamber. The molded platform is configured at each end of the recess for selective installation of a centering roller or a bow stop as desired for convenience when siting the PWC dock and its walkway deck section in relation to a main dock.

A system is proposed for putting boats on hold when they are afloat on a water body after they have been launched and/or before they are hauled out of the water. The system for putting on hold includes: a floating device, having a central floating element and secondary elements extending from the central floating element. Each secondary element being associated with a reception place and having at least one point for driving, by thrust or traction, a boat positioned in an associated reception place. A system for moving is adapted to moving the secondary elements around the central floating element and, via the points for driving, moving the boats that are positioned in the reception places.

A boat lift is attached to piles driven into the earth or to another object. The boat lift is held in horizontal position relative to piles or the object to which it is attached, but vertical movement of the boat lift relative to the object is permitted. The boat lift is connected to the piles by modular units or cube constructs that have a post extending there through. The post has a blade extending from it. The blades are attached at an angle, according to the application, to pile guides that engage piles. The pile guides vertically traverse the piles, permitting the boat lift to move vertically relative to the object, but fixing the horizontal position of the boat lift.
