About
What Drives Tonka Lift
Tonka Lift began in 2012 as an installer and servicer of a variety of lift and dock brands. After years of servicing and fixing problems on lifts from other manufacturers, we realized that there was a need for a higher quality, more reliable boat lift. We used our knowledge of lift issues from other manufacturers and successfully created a lift for boaters who do not want to compromise on convenience, reliability, or protection for their watercraft. At Tonka Lift we constantly look for ways to improve our lifts and the experience for our customers.
Tonka Lift is owned and operated by US Air Force veteran, Tim Niccum and US Army veteran, Charlie Riley.

What Makes Tonka Lift Different
Precision American Manufacturing
Our lift components are precision manufactured in the USA using automated CNC systems. Compared to typical hand manufactured lifts, our lift components fit together perfectly creating a more secure and reliable lift.
Years of R&D
Our design team has been using, installing, and maintaining boat lifts for over 50 years. We have used this knowledge to create designs that eliminate common boat lift issues. Our lifts are also rigorously tested to ensure they back up our claim as the best hydraulic lifts on the market.
We Stand behind our Products
We strive to ensure that our boat lifts are the most reliable lifts on the market. In the event your lift experiences an issue, we provide a stress free 3-year warranty on all manufacturing, parts, and labor as well as a 15 year warranty on the lift frame.
Superior Materials
We utilize industry leading materials to ensure that our lifts hold up to continued years of use.
- Composite shaft pins and bearings
- Polymer shaft scraper
- Anodized aluminum cylinder bodies
Perfect Fit
Our aluminum frame components are CNC machined to structurally lock together prior to welding. Not only does this help with keeping the parts perfectly lined up during fabrication, but it reduces stress on the weld joints by up to 80%. Our lift frames are the strongest in the industry and backed by our 15-year written warranty.
Innovative Hydraulic Design
Utilizing our 20 years of experience with boat lifts, we have custom engineered our hydraulic systems.
- Exclusive triple seal hydraulic cylinder design
- Marine-grade aluminum with anodized surface construction
- Custom designed hydraulic manifold
- 100% in-house assembly of hydraulic systems
