Water lock

LEBEN manufactures visco-elastic and hydraulic shock absorbers for water locks in combination with a catch rope or a buffer beam.

 

Visco-elastic shock absorber or hydraulic shock absorber as end stop in front of sluice gate:

Problem:
Water lock gates must be protected from damage caused by incoming vessels.

Solution:
In front of the water lock gate, catch ropes or impact beams are provided which, in combination with a visco-elastic (COMPENSER®) or hydraulic (COMPENSER®) shock absorber, absorb the impact energy of the unbraked approaching ship. These shock absorbers for water locks are manufactured according to the special requirements (mounting geometry & load data) of the respective water lock.

Advantage:
The sluice gates can no longer be rammed by freighters, tankers or cruise ships. This prevents damage to the ship, the water lock gate or damage to persons.
