Cargo Handling Apparatus TRIZ Cases
- Collapsible Marine Ladder Attachments for Leverage and Foot Comfort
Handgrip extensions and angled padded rung attachments help users climb from the water with better leverage and less foot pressure.
- Guide Float Cradle for Stable Vessel Recovery at Sea
A buoyant guide float and variable hangers stabilize a recovery cradle, reducing rocking and collision risk during vessel transfer at sea.
- Hydro-Pneumatic Boom Restraint for Offshore Crane Load Loss
Hydraulic cylinders and gas buffers restrain offshore crane boom uplift during load loss or vessel roll, reducing collision and wire slack.
- Telescopic Gangway Boarding for Variable Air Draft Access
A winch-adjusted telescopic gangway enables stable boarding between dredges and dump scows despite changing air draft, load, and sea conditions.
- Diagonal Hydraulic Suspension for Vessel Attitude Control
Diagonal valves and actuators redistribute hydraulic pressure between vessel support rams to control chassis attitude with lower pump energy loss.
- Reversible Conduit Coupling Using Fluid Jets for Floating Ports
Controlled fluid jets guide a conduit assembly into a floating receiving port, enabling safer autonomous fluid transfer and release between moving bodies.
- Submersible Stern Platform Openings for Compact Recreational Use
Openings, gates, and removable bottoms turn a submersible stern platform into seating or pool space while limiting onboard space and assembly burden.
- Inflatable Ladder Structure for Compact Storage and Fast Deployment
Pressurized air chambers give this ladder rigidity in use while allowing compact storage and rapid transport in space-constrained settings.
- LNG Tank Pump Tower Layout for Flexible Deck-Stabilized Positioning
A deck-coupled pump tower and guide system allow flexible LNG tank placement, simplifying installation and improving maintenance access.
- Rotatable Turret Loading Assembly for Flexible Offshore Fluid Transfer
A motor-driven rotatable turret repositions the coupling manifold and hose access to connect vessels from multiple directions with lower DP energy use.
- Ferry Loading Port Closures for Spray Sealing and Vehicle Access
A split ferry loading port uses a ramp-forming closure and movable spray cover to admit vehicles while limiting water spray and preserving ventilation.
- Watercraft Transport Box With Buoyancy Rotation for Rapid Launch
A buoyancy-rotating transport box speeds unmanned watercraft launch while cushioning water hammer and protecting signal lines.
- Articulated Boom Crane Cradle Layout for Offshore Deck Space
A deck-mounted cradle supports the terminal boom at rest, freeing offshore deck space while reducing crane support weight and reinforcement needs.
