The Falkirk Boatlift: World’s Only Rotating Boat Lift
In a world filled with marine architectural marvels, the boat lift located at Falkirk Scotland sets an altogether different example. Bearing the distinction of being the only revolving lift to ferry boats in the world, the Falkirk boat lift colligates the Union Canal with the Forth and Clyde Canal in the central part of Scotland.
Built at a cost of nearly 20 million pounds, the project to build the boat lift that would revamp and rejoin the two canals began in the early 2000s. The Falkirk boat lift was officially introduced by the Queen in the year 2002. The boat lift is designed in such a way that it has two caissons which lift the boats from the water and hoist them onto the water-link connecting the two canals.
These caissons are demarcated at a distance of 25 metres from each other with an axle placed centrally. The boatlift measures 35 feet lengthwise and width wise with its height being compared to eight double-motorbuses stacked one-on-top-of-another
