IMM Boatlifts "Slack Attacker"
U.S. Patent # 6935807 B2
Since the introduction of the first boatlift, the number one problem has been
slack cables. If the cradle hits bottom, or floats, or has the weight taken off, for any
reason, the cables get slack. This causes the cables to cross, and tangle. Consequently the lift will not function properly, and the cables will fail.
Every boatlift manufacturer without exception has tried to solve this problem. No
solution has even come close, UNTIL NOW! Actually many of the attempted solutions,
such as “Cable Keepers”, and “Wipers” damage the cables, and do not prevent the
problem.
“THE SLACK ATTACKER” uses a totally different, and unique approach. “THE SLACK ATTACKER” replaces the “Deadman”. This is the point where the cable end attaches to the top beam.. “THE SLACK ATTACKER” consists of a pulley housing, and a counter weight.
