The World's Largest Shiplift Becomes Amazing Feat of Engineering

Each elevator consists of two rows of hoist cable drums and the gearboxes are positioned over both sides of the boat-lifting reservoir. 

According to Stromag, a partner brand in the development of the world’s largest shiplift, “this design provides a hoisting speed of approximately 8 meters per minute, thus can raise or descend a 500-tonne vessel (the estimated average weight of passenger boats) in 10 minutes, slashing the travel time past the dam,"
