Syncrolift AS supplies two types of shiplifts, a traditional Rigid Platform and an Articulated Platform. Both are essentially a large elevator consisting of a structural steel platform, a selected number of electrically powered wire rope hoists to raise and lower the platform, and a central electrical motor control center to operate the system.
Syncrolift® shiplifts are not only used for the safe retrieval and launching of ships, but also for launching concrete caissons, offshore structures and wind farm equipment.
