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.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb3 K3 H' A+ f2 d# `6 b; ~
Boats enter the tub, then the tub locks up and the huge arm starts rotating .

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 kWh5.39.217.76, [. u6 q% C6 t# b' y

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.
