FAQs: Cover Lifters

Do I need a hot tub cover lifter?

A cover lifter is one of the most practical accessories you can add to your hot tub. It makes removing and replacing your cover effortless, protects it from damage caused by dragging and dropping, and helps extend its lifespan significantly. Without a lifter, a waterlogged cover can become extremely heavy over time, making access to your spa a real chore.

What is the difference between a top mount and bottom mount cover lifter?

Both the top mount and bottom mount cover lifters attach to the sides of your hot tub cabinet with brackets. The key difference is where the mounting brackets sit — top mount brackets fix to the upper edge of the cabinet, while bottom mount brackets attach lower down the sides.

How much space do I need behind my hot tub for a cover lifter?

Most cover lifters require between 30cm and 60cm of clearance behind or to the side of your hot tub to allow the cover to fold back fully when open. Our basket and cradle style lifters store the cover neatly alongside the spa with minimal additional space required, making them ideal for tighter garden setups.
