and also the term "boat lift" is used for different things, for example
this manufacturer: https://www.jetdock.com/what-is-a-boat-lift.asp
"A *boat lift* can be a device for transferring boats between water that
are at two different elevations. However, our boat lifts serve a different
function. It allows a boat to be lifted from the water."
