This is the only rotational boat transporter in the world. It has two arms and each arm forms a kind of huge tub filled with water.

The“tubs” are filled according the Archimedes’ Law. So the weight of “tubs” are balanced. To open the upper and lower lock and turn the whole system by 180◦they need an engine of 22.5 kW which only use 1.5 kWhtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb1 h/ {) h8 Y$ Q

This is a fascinating canal in Scotland. Especially with a elevation of 79 ft between two canals. The swinging transportation is very genius design to save space.
