How do ships travel on land?

Restored operation at Brno Dam and ITECO technology

‍

After a one-year break, caused by cleaning and low water levels, we are May 8 were celebrating the opening ceremony of the ship operation on the Brno Dam. Regular transport has been running here since 1946 and connects the beaches of Brno-Bystrc with Veveří Castle and, more recently, with Veverská Bítíška itself. This one 9,3 km route a total of 230,000 tourists graduated in 2007.

In addition to the repairs of the existing six ships, the past “rest” year was devoted to the construction of a new, so far The largest ship in Leipzig and the general reconstruction of the area of the Brno wharf, from which ships are launched into the water. Production New door, Rail Handling Trolley on boats and the reinforcement of the concrete foundation was prepared and implemented by the company ITECO from Brno.

Handling in the dock area ‍

How the boats are transported from the hall to the water and vice versa can be seen in the photos. Equipment that comes from by ITECO, works as follows: The boat in the water abuts on its handling trolley, which is loaded on an inclined sliding table. After the boat is pulled out of the water, it can be moved from the inclined slide to either two parking spaces or to the horizontal slide. From the horizontal sliding room, the boat is parked to other docking points or to the repair halls.

Who's pulling the ropes?

The movement shifted ensures fixed or mobile door. The fixed winch shall meet the technical and safety requirements for launching and pulling boats weighing at least 75 t (58.2t Vessel, 6.5t Handling Boat Carriage, 6.5t Inclined Sliding Vessel) after rail track about the slope 15%. The feed rate is 1.7m/min.

The fixed door is formed by a compact transmission with a motor of power 15 kW. On the two-sided output shaft, toothed couplings are mounted, which continue through the connecting shaft to the rope drums. For shifting in a horizontal position, ground anchors with a mesh are used, on which pulleys or the mobile door itself are attached.
