Shiplift Support Arms Render 1920X1080 (1)

The Syncrolift Side Support Arms, also known as bilge support arms, are designed to expedite ship docking, requiring fewer personnel and reducing costs.

Traditionally, when preparing a drydock or ship transfer system, hull shape is determined using drawings, often leading to inaccurate blocking.

This inaccuracy can cause peak loads on the hull and the transfer system's wheels, potentially leading to winch overloads and aborted dockings.

The Syncrolift Side Support Arms mitigate these issues, ensuring precise support, reducing the risk of overloads, and saving on both wood and man-hours in preparation.
