Make removing your hot tub cover a simple process with the Cradle Mount Cover Lifter. This easy to assemble lifter does not mount directly to the spa, and instead has a base plate that nests directly under the tub. This allows this lifter to be used on any shape of hot tub or portable spa without hassle. Its gas assisted spring allows you to conveniently remove your cover with minimal effort, while its powder coated aluminum construction is built to withstand harsh winter weather.NOTE: This lifter requires a clearance of 26 inches (65 cm)
