XL500 Lift
[Some of the information below also applies to the L300 lift. For ease of reading, the relevant information is replicated on the L300 webpage]
Available in both “F” (Fixed) and “R” (Rails) System
Difference between the ‘R’ and ‘F’ Types
- Like the L300 lift the F series version of the XL500 can often be installed on an existing swim platform or marlin board without requiring additional, stronger supporting brackets. However, it is crucial that owners verify this requirement before ordering. This verification should ideally be checked with the marine workshop performing the installation, the boat manufacturer, or a qualified boat builder.
- The R series is designed to accommodate boats with deeper platforms and allows the tender or jet ski to be moved inward and secured close to the transom while underway.
- This inward positioning enhances the ride stability, improves the overall balance, and protects the tender or jet ski from wake waves or stern waves in following seas.
Why Use Rails?
Rails are not essential for launching or retrieving a tender or jet ski. Their primary purpose is to move the tender or jet ski closer to the transom after storage. This ensures the boat’s center of gravity is better balanced and is not too far aft when the lift is installed, and the tender or jet ski is stored on the platform.
Costs [2025]
XL500F: EUR13,236.00/USD15,532.00 (approximately AU$22,2500.00 – Jan 2025), excluding DHL or equivalent airfreight delivery costs, import duties and taxes and broker’s clearing fee, if applicable.
XL500R: EUR14,523.00/USD17,407.00 (approximately AU$24,250.00 – Jan 2025), excluding DHL or equivalent airfreight delivery costs, import duties and taxes and broker’s clearing fee, if applicable.
Delivery Costs, Import Duties, Taxes & Broker’s Clearing Fee
The costs of the XL500 Lift vary depending on individual orders. All units are shipped directly to customers from Sweden using DHL or an equivalent airfreight service. A firm delivery charge will be provided to each customer before an order is placed.
Upon the goods’ arrival in Australia, import duties, taxes (if applicable), and broker’s clearing fees (if applicable) will be determined. These charges are the purchaser’s responsibility and are additional to the quoted lift costs. Customers are also responsible for clearing the goods through customs, either personally or with the assistance of a customs clearance broker. DHL or other international couriers will generally clear the goods for you, subject to you paying the calculated duties, etc., which can be done on-line.
As a guideline for Australian customers, GST (10%) is calculated on the total of the following:
- The invoice price of the goods.
- The transportation cost to ship the goods to Australia.
- The insurance cost for goods in transit.
- Any import duties payable on the goods.
If a licensed customs broker is engaged to handle the clearance of goods through customs, their fee typically ranges between $300 and $400.
