to the lazarette deck from the yacht’s main
deck.
~Continued We
designed an integrated hydraulic
scissor-lift for this purpose. The scissor-lift
integrated into a pocket built into the swimplatform
directly under the passerelle’s boarding
gate. Access to the scissor-lift is available
only when the passerelle is stowed. The hydraulic
scissor-lift transports a 46” x 48”
(116cm x 122cm) aluminum platform vertically
a distance of 60” (1.52-meters) from the
swimplatform to the main deck. Deck camber was
matched in the moving-platform so as to provide
a uniform transition from the deck onto the
platform. Our design was developed using SolidWorks
3-d modeling software. The lift was approved
and resulted in a simple and convenient means
to transport the client between the two decks
and provide easy access to the yacht’s
lazarette. |
