摘要 |
The invention relates to a hydraulic lift for use with transport vessels of the hovercraft or amphibious type which operate effectively across a relatively flat water or land surface. It relates in particular to a facility that is positioned as an intermediate stage between a body of water and a land mass disposed at widespread levels. The hydraulic lift includes a relatively upright, open top chamber adapted to receive a floating amphibious craft. The chamber is communicated with a source of liquid such as water, and means to controllably vary the level of the latter in the chamber such that the craft can be passed upwardly or downwardly to a desired level while being self-supported above the water's surface.
