What is a Boat Lifting Gantry Crane?

A رافعة جسرية لرفع القوارب, often referred to as a travel lift or رافعة بوابة بحرية للأغراض السيارات, is a type of mobile lifting equipment specifically designed for marinas, shipyards, and repair docks. Its primary functions include vessel launching, hauling, transportation, and maintenance lifting. Unlike standard gantry cranes, these specialized ship-lifting gantries utilize multiple high-strength slings to cradle the hull, preventing localized stress points that could damage the shell. They are engineered to accommodate various beam widths.
