Syncrolift System / Package
Fluid-bed Transfer System
Rail-based ship transfer system with hydraulically connected trolleys that level out peak loads, for work loads up to 40 000 tons.
Description
The Syncrolift Fluid-bed Transfer System (FBTS) uses hydraulically connected trolleys that share the load between them, averaging out peak loads such as an engine section. This protects the ship, allows uneven ground with less piling or ground strengthening, and lets a shiplift lift heavier ships by avoiding winch overload.
Key features
- Work load area up to 40 000 tons
- Self-propelled x and y movements
- Accurate assembly of ship sections and 100% hull painting access
- Existing rigid transfer systems can be upgraded with fluid bed functionality, stated to increase shiplift lifting capacity by 5-10% depending on the ship's load curve
- Syncrolift has delivered 55+ transfer systems
Applications
Moving ships between shiplifts and dry berths at repair and newbuilding yards.
