Krasnoyarsk ship lift

The Krasnoyarsk ship lift (Russian: Судоподъёмник Красноярской ГЭС) is the only ship lift in Russia, started in 1976 (officially put into operation in 1982[1]) at the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station on the Yenisei River. Boat lift consists of the outer harbor, the bottom of the approach channel, the actual lift and turntable. The platform of the lift moves along the rack railway, with the track gauge of 9 m. The movement is carried out by means of electric drive.

In order to load the ship lift, the platform is lowered below the water level, at which point the ship then enters the lift, and the platform begins to move up the overpass. The ships are transported afloat.

At the top of the platform where it meets together with the ship its pulled into the turntable, which moves the lift onto another track, by which the platform is lowered to the upper tail water below the water level. When this is complete, the ship may leave the lift.

Developer of boat lift - Lenhydroproject, manufacturer - Lengidrostal.
