forklift-based launching and a Capria
launcher is its negative lift. The
Capria solution is virtually unlimited
in its scope and can accommodate
extreme tidal fluctuations and steep
embankments. The launcher framework
slides over rails that can be configured
to match the site’s angle and reach
requirements.
As primary waterfront property
becomes increasingly expensive and
scarce, savvy drystack owners are
looking to adjoining canals and other
narrow waterways for new business
locations. A lateral launcher option is
ideal for this scenario as it lowers the
boat into the water parallel to the shore.
With sufficient depth and a nearby
turning basin, the vessel can even be
longer than the width of the waterway.
Sites with steep embankments or
high seawalls are also drystack options
if a rotary launcher is employed – even
if there are extreme tidal fluctuations.
Rotary launchers are unique in being
able to move a boat up and over
obstructions in a large arcing motion. A
drystack building can thus be located
right at the water’s edge and overhang
the launcher, which means it can be
Crane and launcher options are available
to suit a wide variety of sites, including
those with steep embankments and extreme
tidal fluctuations.

By the end of the year, Capria fully electric stacker cranes and launchers
will be transporting no fewer than 8,000 boats to and from the water.
Director, Andrés Capria, confirms this remarkable achievement: “With the
installation of four additional stacker cranes and four launchers for the
latest projects, we are proud to reach a new record in moving boats this
way,” he says.
Andrés will be attending
the upcoming Marinas22
conference and exhibition on
the Australian Gold Coast,
along with colleagues Greg
Butchart and Alister Copley
from Butchart Marine Services.

Vessels up to 32ft (10m) long and
weighing five tons are
loaded bow-first onto a
rotary launcher. Once
settled on the cradle, an
electric motor drives a very
large gear that moves the
vessel into the water.
When the area between
the storage shed and the
waterfront has to remain
open to traffic, the rotary
launcher can move boats
up and over a pedestrian
corridor. The launching
crane can also be located
on a second storey of the
structure, adding to its
ability to overcome the
limitations of a seemingly
unusable location.
