Didn't think you could move a 30,000-ton stern section all in one piece? Or 15,000-ton midsections? Ihrink again. You can move anything from a stern section to a whole ULCC...within a building hall, along an assembly line, across a building yard, into a building dock, floating dry dock or elevator, or down a slipway You can make your move straight ahead or to the side, mechanically, using shipyard-proven equipment from Hydranautics. Hydranautics Friction Lock Gripper Systems can slide even the heaviest loads from place to place over greased ways or other low-friction surfaces. If you need to move across unprepared surfaces, Hydranautics TransLift Systems can carry extremely heavy loads by "walking" them anywhere in your yard. Hydranautics multi-thousand ton load translating systems can be acquired for a fraction of the cost of conventional crane or wheeled transport systems, and have been proven in marine and construction applica- tions, worldwide.
