FLOE International was founded by Wayne Floe in 1983 at the age of 19. He started in his dad's pole building with minimal tools, lots of ideas, and tireless passion. The company has grown and expanded to include four facilities in three cities with over 300,000 square feet of production space.

Their boat lifts, docks and trailers have lead the industry with innovative designs, patented technology and unique features not found on competitors products. Afina is also manufactured in FLOE's facility in McGregor Minnesota and is a new breed of watercraft.

What water depth is needed for FLOE lifts? Approx. 6.5' without leg extensions and 8' with leg extensions this may vary depending on the hull and wave conditions. The optimum water depth for most lifts is 26” – 66”.
