Ship Transfer Systems

Model Trestles, Cradles, Carriages

Trestles, cradles and carriages plus SPMT and rail-based transfer systems for moving vessels around a shipyard.

Description

Bardex designs and manufactures ship support systems and transfer systems that move vessels between a shiplift and the working bays of a shipyard.

Key features

  • Trestles: single tapered plate girders compatible with SPMT and rail-based bogie transfer, commonly used for submarine docking
  • Cradles: welded assemblies of two or more trestles with interconnecting steel for keel and bilge blocking
  • Carriages: low-height cradles that run exclusively on rails and are towed
  • Bardex designs both SPMT and rail-based transfer systems and manufactures rail-based systems

Applications

Rail-based systems suit poor soil conditions, while SPMT transfer suits irregular yard geometry on firm ground. Used at commercial and naval shipyards, including submarine facilities.
