600 Ton Capacity Travelift

Hi Paul and Stuart,

We see these Travelifts all over the world at shipyards. At first they were smaller and would only lift 50 tons but the new ones are HUGE. This one can lift 600 tons and the same shipyard has one on order that will lift 1100 tons! Below is a photo of a yacht in the slings, note the man near the cooling tower (the light cylinder on the ground).

Thank you for the nice comments and thank you for looking.

Merry Christmas,

Dave

Hi Gary,

The boat in the slings in the last photo is 140 feet long and the charge is about $15/ft each lift so $30/ft for a haul and launch. Really not too bad when you think about it.

Merry Christmas

Dave

Great shots of this amazing machine! I had no idea they can be built so gigantic. It's a treat to see a skilled operator move these around with a gazillion dollar yacht in the straps. Thanks for posting these.
