| Construction Benefits |
- Reduced capital costs due to a more efficient site footprint.
- More space efficient use of available building area therefore other areas of the site are able to be developed for other uses.
- AMT systems can be built to a height of over 45m whereas FLT systems typically can only be built to around 20m.
- AMT systems require no overhead clearance (compared to a gantry crane operation).

Operational Benefits |
- Greater revenue as the largest/longest/heaviest boat can stored in any rack (not just the bottom rack).
- AMT systems have a far greater boat throughput than any other system in the market.
- Reduced maintenance costs and downtime.
- Reduced labour costs.
- Reduced operating costs as diesel is more expensive than electricity.
- AMT systems have the ability to generate and store electricity by utilising the movement in the machine.
- Far less internal lighting required as boats are stored without the need for an operator to “see”.
- AMT systems have a proven downtime of less than 1%. This discipline has been carried over from the Air Cargo industry where there is no scope for downtime.
- AMT systems has back up redundancy systems built in to the overall system should there be a problem that requires maintenance. There are 2 motors on the drive train system and when one motor fails, the system still uses the other motor and the effect is the speed of the system reduced by half.
- There is a general perception amongst boat owners that it is safer for their boat to be moved by a computer driven machine rather than be subjected to human error.

Therefore throughput time can be tailored to client specifications. |
Environmental Benefits |
- No toxic emissions from AMT systems (unlike traditional forklift trucks (FLT)).
- No soot from FLT’s on boats in racking.
- AMT systems are far quieter than traditional FLT systems; therefore operational hours can be extended.
- There is potential for oil spills as AMT systems are fully electric. AUTOMATED CAR PARKING:
- Through the integration of our boat storage and car parking systems we now enable the operator to store more than just the boat within each racking position. Specifically once each customer’s boat has been placed into the water, they have the ability to have their car parked in the boat rack that their boat usually occupies.
- We recognise that waterfront land today is at a premium and storage of goods (e.g. cars) in addition to boats can be more efficient use of the total site area.
