Applications

Syncrolifts are custom designed to accommodate a wide range of shipbuilding and ship repair activities according to each customer’s exact lifting requirements.

A heavy-duty device that is safe, reliable and able to withstand the corrosive conditions of the marine environment, has many applications in addition to shipbuilding and ship repair.

Caisson Lifts
Syncrolift® platforms are used for launching concrete caissons for construction of breakwaters, piers and bridges. With their high unit lift requirements, caisson lifts can be used for a specific project, and then reconfigured and used as a conventional shiplift.

Ramps for ferries
Syncrolift technology is used in ramps for passenger ferries and cargo ships. In areas where very high tidefalls make loading and unloading difficult, a Syncrolift ramp with it’s precise control mechanisms is an ideal solution.

Bargelifts
The Syncrolift, concept is also being developed as an alternative to canal locks. Because of its simple design, it is a cheaper alternative to traditional locks that offers several environmental benefits.

Hundreds of commercial repair and shipbuilding companies throughout the world depend on the proven reliability of Syncrolift, for ship repairs, conversion projects and launching new vessels.
