For boaters, convenience and security at the dock are just as important as performance on the water. That’s why Lift-Mate has engineered a smarter way to operate and protect your boat lift system. With its app-based control, powerful encryption, and real-time alerts, Lift-Mate turns your dock into a connected, secure hub that’s easy to manage from anywhere.
The Modern Boat Lift System
Traditional lift remotes get the job done, but Lift-Mate takes it further by turning them into a smart controller you can access right from your smartphone. Once installed, the Lift-Mate device allows you to manage your lift through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cellular service. That means remote boat lift control is always in your pocket—whether you’re standing dockside or hundreds of miles away.
The system is compatible with popular control boxes, including GEM, TEC, and Hi-Tide, making it a flexible upgrade for most existing setups.
Inside the Lift-Mate Boat Lift App
At the core of the experience is the Lift-Mate boat lift app, available for iOS and Android. Designed for straightforward operation, the app gives you fingertip control over your lift and supports:
- Switching between multiple lifts in different locations
- Adjusting lifts to preset positions, such as “boarding” or “storage”
- Sharing access with family, renters, or service providers via secure, time-limited keys
- Receiving notifications whenever your lift is moved
By consolidating these functions, the app makes it simple to manage your boat lift via app without extra remotes or complicated setups.
Security Through Encryption
One of the biggest concerns with smart devices is security. Lift-Mate addresses this head-on with 256-bit end-to-end encryption. All communication between your smartphone and the device stays private, so only authorized users can access the lift. Unlike systems that rely on unsecured remotes or cloud exposure, Lift-Mate ensures your control stays locked to your device.
Anti-Theft Boat Lift Alerts
The system isn’t just about convenience—it’s also about peace of mind. Lift-Mate includes anti-theft boat lift alerts that activate when the lift moves unexpectedly from its designated “storage position.” If your boat is lifted or lowered without your approval, you’ll receive an immediate notification through the app.
For an added layer of protection, Lift-Mate integrates with an outdoor-rated Foscam 4MP night-vision camera. With motion detection and direct in-app viewing, you can check your boat in real time whenever alerts are triggered. This creates a security solution that blends monitoring with direct control of your lift.
Installation Made Easy
Lift-Mate is designed to be straightforward to install. The controller comes pre-wired with a low-voltage setup and includes everything needed to connect to compatible lift boxes. Whether you choose to handle installation yourself or work with a marine service provider, setup is typically quick and requires no extensive modifications.
Why Boaters Choose Lift-Mate
Lift-Mate is more than an upgrade—it’s a transformation in how boaters interact with their docks. Here’s why it’s becoming the preferred solution:
- Remote boat lift control saves time and hassle, especially when returning to the dock.
- Anti-theft boat lift alerts provide confidence when your boat is unattended for long periods.
- App-based management means no fumbling with remotes or worrying about lost transmitters.

It’s a solution that blends convenience, control, and safety—all accessible from your smartphone.
Bringing Smart Technology to the Dock
The shift toward connected boating technology is reshaping how we think about the dockside experience. Lift-Mate represents that shift, offering a boat lift system that fits seamlessly into modern lifestyles. Instead of worrying about whether the lift was properly secured or rushing to the dock to prepare for arrival, you can simply use the app to check and adjust.
With Lift-Mate, you gain the ability to:
- Lower the lift before you even reach the marina
