Bilge Block Systems

Adjustable sliding bilge block systems with crank-driven winches for marine railways and floating dry docks.

Description

Crandall adjustable sliding bilge block systems support a vessel's bilge while it is docked. They use crank-driven cast iron winches on stands atop cradle uprights, or atop the wing wall of a floating dry dock.

Key features

  • Upright shells and garboard shells
  • Calibrated proof-coil bilge block chain in an endless system
  • Operated from both docking platforms, or from one side only on docks with side transfer
  • Winch sprockets hand-cranked or power driven, with ratchet and pawl lock
  • Complete movable block systems or individual components: winches, chain, shells, sheaves and hinges

Applications

Marine railway cradles and floating dry docks that need adjustable bilge support for different hull forms.
