Slipways TRIZ Cases

Sensors and automated thrust control guide a watercraft onto a trailer with precise alignment, reducing ramp-loading damage risk.

Processor-managed relays and current sensing replace contactors and limit switches for safer, more reliable boat lift motor control.

Adjustable forks and interchangeable pockets let one forklift lift and transport different pontoon boats safely despite varying sizes and weight distribution.

Overlapping carriage strokes let lifting belts be repositioned to match boat size and weight center, improving load balance and lifting safety.

Tapered roller bearings on the second worm screw cut boat lift mechanical noise while improving wear resistance and drive durability.

Stereoscopic 3D viewing lets operators guide an underwater robot remotely while water jet and suction tools clear sediments without divers.

A telescopic bow stop with bungee cushioning helps position boats accurately on cradle beams while absorbing docking impact.

A side manway launcher and gate valve let an autonomous vehicle inspect flammable-fluid tanks without emptying them or using roof access.

3D glasses and onboard jet suction let operators clear sediment and guide an underwater robot more precisely during remote exploration.

Feedback control uses actuator thrust and moment to hold target bow azimuth during trailer disengagement for safer ship launching.

A movable main body and base let the chain compressor align with the windlass without repeated welding, reducing deck heat damage and chain load.

A movable main body and fixed base let the chain compressor align with the windlass without repeated deck welding or thermal damage.

A turnbuckle-linked bracket assembly stiffens piling-mounted boat lifts to resist wind and tidal surge sway while securing the platform.

A projecting lifting portion lets the crane handle boats and bulky loads from one grounded position, enabling direct release at varied docks or water edges.

A flexible safety cable detects projecting limbs and stops platform elevation before the lift reaches the fixed deck.

Guide tubes and fenders steer multihull watercraft into position, reducing alignment difficulty and damage risk during docking.

Cabled port and starboard floats use compressed air to support boats above water, protect hulls, and simplify storage.

Hydraulic and lever actuation distribute force through cross-linked bars for stable vertical lifting in crowded docks and narrow marinas.

Segmented aluminum base members support lightweight CPVC rollers, eliminating heavy plastic cradles that degrade under sunlight exposure.

Segmented entry and extension modules with adjustable bulkheads resolve the trade-off between versatile watercraft accommodation and assembly complexity.

A modular bunk assembly uses sliding upper bases to adjust cushion angles for different watercraft hulls.

Mechanical synchronizing and self-feedback stabilizing systems prevent overturning from unbalanced water loads in hydraulic ship lifts.

Automated marine vessel storage system uses lifts and shuttles to transport boats between water and vertical racks, reducing coastal space consumption.
