The elevators? boats

Principles of operation
The weight of a full tray is almost constant, whether empty or not, since a vessel d? place pr? cis? ment its net weight in water. By cons? therefore, counterbalance or force of? l? elevation of bins can? tre ajust? PR? cis? element, so that the power of entra? operating weight d? plac? is tr? s low. Thus, for example, operate a lift bin? Scharnebeck vessels, pr? s of Lüneburg (de: L? neburg) do n? requires that a total of four engines? power of 160 kw, to raise the tray weighing about 5 800 tonnes.

Some elevators? boats, including the elevators? boats of the Canal du Centre, can? tre manoeuvr? s without nearly of power suppl? Basic. It's just a little more fill the tray? down the other tray (or counterweight), so that its weight is l? g? especially sub? outside and begins its descent in consideration of the other. On the canal du Centre, only one is n? necessary to operate a lift, just in charge of the pipes, which will allow to add or remove from water? one of the tanks.

SREPY-THIEU The funicular lift of Str? py-Thieu, on the canal du Centre in Wallonia (Belgium), started? in 1982 and inaugur? in 2002, allows cross a d? nivellation 73 m? very. He is currently the largest elevator? boats of the world. He replaces d? now six books, four elevators? boats of the Canal du Centre and two? cluses. It is the end of a program template of 1350 tons of Belgian waterways and allows the passage of vessels of the template between the basin of the Meuse and the Scheldt. Click here

The inclin plan? of Ronquieres The inclin plan? of Ronqui? res in Belgium (entity? of Braine-le-Comte) a? t? con? u to buy a diff? 68 m level difference? very on the channel? 1350 tonnes linking Charleroi? Brussels. This important work of art, kind of? cluse? mobile SAS is? two gigantic tanks rolling on rails

The inclin plan? of Saint-Louis-Arzviller The inclin plan? Saint-Louis-Arzviller is an elevator? vessels which is part of the canal of the Marne in the Rhine, and allows the travers? e of the Vosges. It is situ? the communes of Saint-Louis and Arzviller in d? Department of Moselle. Put into service in 1969, it replaces 17? cluses which allowed crossing the d? nivel? 44.55 m? very between the two sides of the waterway. The single Chamber, dragging on a ramp b? your inclin? e? 41%, carries vessels in 20 minutes. ? the diff? other elevators Conference? boats, having two caissons which is? quilibrent, the single Chamber of Saint-Louis-Arzviller is held? two balances of 450 tonnes. The elevator is cross-type, -?-43 m long subwoofer is refreshed? perpendicular? the ramp, which allows a greater slope. This character? feature is unique in Europe.

Plans inclin? s of the Elblag canal Inclin plans? s Elblag Canal are a group of 5 elevators? boats? dry situ? s on the canal linking the towns of ElblÄ g (pl: Elblag from: Elbing, old Prussian Truso, Ilfing)? Ostoroda (pl: Ostr?, in: Osterode) in Poland. The canal allows Druzno Lake and Pinie. The project was the? work of the ing? engineer Georg Jakob Steenke. On this channel, which was? the? poque part of East Prussia, four plans inclin? s were first built between 1844 and 1860,? balanced? s hydraulically rather? t as a counterweight. In 1881, a fifth? I plan inclin? was added? in lieu of? cluses. In total, a d? nivel? 99,52 m? tres is offset? over a distance of 9.6 kilometres? very. PR? for vessels of 60 tons, the canal is currently mainly d? devoted to tourism.

THE SITE OF THE LIFTS HAS BOATS Hello? all and welcome to the site that will make you d? cover as impressive as ing machines? nieuses. I speak to you on this site? through the history of the elevator of the Fontinettes, the Canal of the Centre of the inclin plan? of Ronqui? res etc, large families of lifts: hydraulic lifts, funiculars elevators plans inclin? s and elevators? floats.

Slope water Fons? rannes. The water slope was? t? built in the ann? 1980s to return the canal by the carriage of goods by p? niches. To permit the passage of these last? res on the canal, the? cluses should? be expanded, what does? was not possible? Fons? ranes (? cluses staircase) an o? the construction of this slope of water. It allowed? also shorten the time of passage? Fons? ranes. Its operation is simple: the vessel enters a large tub filled with water which is port? e and flourished? e? the mount? e (or restraint in downhill) by Mount engines? on tires. The journey time is tr? s fast (10 minutes, the vessel manoeuvres) included. However today the site is in ruins. In 15 years there is no p? nests of transport on the canal du midi which only has a tourist vocation and it is? clear that it is more int? interesting for tourists to go through the steps of? cluses. In addition the work no? was cost-effective step on the plan? energy? tick, and each pi? should? tre NICU? e proportional for? tre chang? e which was long p? blackout periods. The canal slope has therefore never r? actually operating? and today is aborted? because of s? security?

The Montech water slope  In the work of implementing the Canal de Garonne, the ing Freycinet gauge? engineers had d? cid? exp? try a particular technique? re enabling cross, by a single work, a s? series five? cluses. R? on a distance inf? Interior? 3 kilometre? tres, the site of Montech, Tarn-et-Garonne, is pr? was almost naturally? allow this type of work. In the ann? es 70, the transportation of goods was an activity? intense on the Canal de Garonne. Wines, c? r? ales, mat? construction materials per passed through water, between S? te and Bordeaux. However the same crossing? five? Montech cluses, of Peyrets, of Pellaborie, of Escudi? s and Pommi? s slowed regarded? significantly d? p road lais? niches.
