Handling Gigantic Masses
Ships start their life on land and return there once in a while for overhaul, repair or maintenance. A sophisticated and efficient way of launching new vessels and docking vessels during their lifetime is by using a shiplift system.
Shiplift systems are superior to other docking systems, because ships can be transferred from the platform to a parking area, leaving the shiplift free for other docking activities. Therefore the shiplift system in general includes also a transfer system.
In the past, the first shiplifts were driven by hydraulic cylinders. In the early eighties, Bosch Rexroth supplied its first winch driven shiplift. Nowadays the company supplies shiplifts with winches driven by hydraulic motors or electric (asynchrone) servo motors.
Rexroth shiplifts and transfer systems are based on the latest state of the art drive and control system technology, ensuring a highly reliable, safe, operational friendly and economical way of docking and undocking of vessels.
Rexroth shiplift systems are often supplied on a turn-key basis, including steel structural platform, transfer system, erection and certification/classification.
Rexroth supplied shiplifts and transfer systems from 100 tons unto 30,000 tons capacity designed for all type of vessels such as fishing vessels, (mega-)yachts, container vessels, naval vessels etc..
