Ship transport
The project's description:
Transporting a 400-ton ship from the manufacturing plant plaza to the elevator (Synchro lift) to lower the ship into the water for Israel Shipyards.
Israel Shipyards finished building a ship, intended for its customers, and was required to transport the ship from the production point to the elevator (Synchro lift) that launches the ship into the water.
The engineering project transportation company planned the transport of the ship.
The self-propelled transport to the shipyards was carried out by a 6-axle support. Upon arrival at the shipyards, the team prepared for the insertion and placement of the supports under the ship's carriers according to the engineering plan. Once the outriggers were in place, the team connected all the hydraulic connections so that the outriggers would be synchronized in their balance and steering aspect. In the final preparation phase, the crew raised the supports to the required travel height and thus supported the ship's carriers on the supports.
The ship is loaded on our supporters and with the help of the Self-Propelled we supported the rest of the supporters and led the ship to the elevator that lowered it into the water.
The shipyard team placed the concrete blocks to support the ship on the elevator and the transport team lowered the height of the supports and transferred the weight of the ship to the concrete blocks.
All that was left to finish the job was to get the supports out from under the ship's carriers and load them to transport them back to the division’s yard.
