Are there any cover mate lifters similar to the Hot Spring Cover Cradle lifter?  Or any other brands?

Not sure what you mean.

Some Hot Spring CoverCradles bolt to metal supports built into the covers.  
So you gotta have a lid that matches the lift.
I don't know of any other brands that do this.

In terms of how they geometrically operate;

Covermate 2
Cover-Up
Cover Rock-It
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Covermate does not make one just like the Cover Cradle.  The Cover Cradle mounts into the side of the cover into a metal bracket.  The Cover Cradle has been an exclusive to Hot Spring.

I asked this because a friend of mine wants to buy a cover lifter like the cover cradle, but I told her it's only for Hot Spring Covers.  I'm aware of the cover mate lifters, but I didn't see anything similar.  She likes the ease of use with the cover cradle due to its two gas shocks and would like something like that.

CoverMate3 and Cover Valet use gas shocks, but they are for low clearance situations.  They make the cover stand up rather than drop behind.  But they do offer the gas shock support. :)
