In today’s fast-paced marina environment, efficiency isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. From quick boat launches to secure infrastructure, marina managers need reliable systems that support both operational flow and asset protection. Two critical tools that can dramatically improve performance at any facility are boat hoist frames and puck lock cages.
At Reese Marine Manufacturing\Kimberly Steel Corporation, we specialize in designing and fabricating both. Together, they create a streamlined, secure marina operation that reduces risk, saves time and enhances overall functionality.
Why Efficiency Matters at Marinas
Whether you’re operating a dry stack facility, waterfront boatyard or mixed-use marina, every minute counts. Boat owners expect fast service. Technicians need safe, accessible workspaces. And infrastructure must be protected to avoid costly downtime or repairs.
The more efficient your setup, the more you can store, the more services you can offer—and the better your customer satisfaction.
Streamlining Lifts with Custom Boat Hoist Frames
Moving larger, heavier boats isn’t easy without the right tools. Our boat hoist frames are engineered to simplify vessel handling, reduce turnaround time and increase safety on the docks.
Key Features:
- Load capacity up to 40,000 lbs for today’s biggest vessels
- Adjustable lifting points and movable horizontal beams for versatile handling
- Custom designs based on your operational layout and vessel types
- Durable powder-coated finish to withstand marine exposure
- Safe access and easy operation for your staff
Whether you’re pulling boats for service or stacking them for dry storage, these frames provide efficiency without compromise.

Protecting Infrastructure with Puck Lock Cages
Marinas aren’t just storing boats—they’re also managing power, water, HVAC and communications. These systems are vulnerable to vandalism, copper theft, weather and accidental damage. That’s where our puck lock protective cages come in.
What Makes Puck Lock Cages So Effective?
- Maximum tamper resistance with concealed hasps and puck lock design
- Built-in durability using U.S.-sourced, powder-coated steel
- Custom fits for utility meters, HVAC systems, breaker boxes and telecom gear
- LOTO safety compliance for maintenance and access control
- Rapid deployment for marina retrofits or new construction
These cages are ideal for streamlining maintenance and eliminating disruptions caused by equipment failure, theft, or unauthorized access.
