The Scharnebeck twin ship lift is on the Elbe-Seitenkanal, which connects the Elbe (at Artlenburg) and the Mittellandkanal (near Wolfsburg). The boat lift was built in Scharnebeck to the North-east of Lüneburg in 1974 and was at that time the largest ship lift in the world. The first ship passed through the lift on 1975-12-05. There is a museum at the site. ==Technical data== *Design: double counterweight lift *Construction cost: 152 million Deutsche Mark *Vertical lift: max. 38 m (depending on the water level of the Elbe) *Trough size: usable length / usable width / water depth 105 m / 12 m / 3.38 m *Gate safety: The catch ropes at the trough gates reduce the usable length of the trough by 5m. *Total weight of the trough filled with water: 5,800 t *Total moving weight of a trough, the water contained, and associated parts: approx. 11,800 t *Weight of one counterweight of which there are 224 per trough: approx. 26.5 t (giving a total of 5,936 t per trough) *Dimensions of one counterweight: 6.8 m x 3.4 m x 0.32 m *Thickness of the steel cables: 54 mm *Source of power: 4 electric motors of 160 kW each (together about 870 horsepower) *Time taken to lift or lower a trough: 3 minutes *Time taken to pass through the lift: 15–20 minutes *Visitors per year: approx. 500,000 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scharnebeck twin ship lift」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
