  • LIFTING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20110206464
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lifting system for watercraft or marine vessels. A temporary stationary positioning of the vessel on the seabed is possible by means of supporting legs which can be lowered and raised. A force-locking locking and braking device is hereby used. By means of hydro-mechanical means, combined with hydraulic devices, this allows a stationary position of a raised vessel and a lowering of the vessel during transition to the travel position to be achieved relatively quickly and efficiently.
