ABSTRACT:
The present shiplift apparatus has a horizontal lift platform with eight lift points (four on each side along the length of the platform). Four lift motors are provided, each operating a first cable for lifting the platform at a lift point which is located toward the longitudinal, midpoint of the platform and a second cable for lifting the platform at a lift point near one end or the other of the platform. Each second cable is connected to a linear actuator for leveling up the platform independent of the lift motors.
