Safety. When you're lifting a multi- thousand-ton ship, it's the first thing on your mind.

But if you're currently using a wire rope shiplift system, or if you're considering one, you may not want to read the rest of this ad.

THE PROBLEM

As the inset shows, wire rope is comprised of numerous small-diameter wires. Over time, these wires are subject to both corrosion and bending fatigue, posing serious threats to the safety and maintenance of the system. In fact, the progressive corrosion and bending fatigue of wire rope are the primary causes of most recorded shiplift failures.

THE SOLUTION

All Bardex Hydranautics shiplift systems use stud link 4100-ton shiplift system.

BARDGX

HYDRANAUTICS anchor chain instead of wire rope.

This advance in shiplift technol- ogy maximizes the advantages of the marine elevator while elimi- nating the risks and maintenance problems associated with wire rope systems.

Stud link chain provides strength, integrity, and serviceable life many times that of wire rope. Since chain is subject to external corrosion only, it retains its internal strength and lifting capacity.

Unlike wire rope, which requires removal and man- datory testing to failure, the condition of chain is easily determined by visual inspection and a simple diameter measurement.

Accepted by classification societies worldwide,

Bardex Hydranautics shiplift and transfer systems are used in major naval and commercial shipyards, including Hyundai, one of the world's largest.
