A good question, how much heavier is the lift with two boats than when it is 'empty'.
Shouldn't be much if any difference the weight of the boats would displace that amount of water. As the boat exited at the top water would replace the weight of the boat.Originally Posted by Hans Pearson
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
Wonder what system of seals they use between the lower and upper canals, and the lift? They seem pretty watertight
Nice engineering. It kinda reminds me of the Lookout Mountain Inclined Railway.
Stupid is forever, ignorance can be fixed.
