^Same here and always around this stuff.
That link is outstanding and very well written.
Since we're discussing lifts / shore stations, another is concerning capacity. And I'm not talking length. Years back had a friend tragically lose his life from a power winch assembly exploding apart. Fragment of metal entered his head. Airlifted to a hospital and later that night he slipped away.
What initiated the accident was not so much the lift but he had a neighbors boat on it and was going to service it. Apparently the hull was filled with enough water and along with the boat weight to exceed limits of the lift. I don't know all the specifics or of that brand design, safety clutch / catch but luck was not on his side.
Careful all.
