Yacht lifting apparatus

Abstract

The present invention relates to a yacht lifting apparatus. To transport a ship being lifted at a quay or a dock on the coast in a safe manner without vibration, the present invention proposes a yacht lifting apparatus which comprises: a main body frame standing upright at both sides of the ship to support a load and having a bottom comprising a wheel; lifting means arranged above the main body frame for enabling the elevation of a band wound onto the ship; and control means for controlling the operation of the yacht lifting apparatus, the yacht lifting apparatus being configured to transport and lift the ship to a predetermined place, said yacht lifting apparatus further comprising: a first cylinder arranged below the main body frame toward the hull of the ship; and hull fixing means for preventing the ship from vibrating by allowing a contact element coupled to the front end of the first cylinder to contact the hull.

1 . A yacht lifting apparatus that includes a main body frame ( 10 ) that stands upright at both sides of a ship ( 100 ) to support a weight and has a wheel ( 13 ) provided on a bottom surface, a lifting unit ( 20 ) that elevates a band ( 24 ) wound around the ship ( 100 ) at an upper part of the main body frame ( 10 ), and a control unit that controls an operation of the apparatus, and is configured to transfer and lift the ship ( 100 ) to a predetermined place, the yacht lifting apparatus comprising:
 first cylinders ( 32 ) that are provided at a lower part of the main body frame ( 10 ) to face a ship body of the ship ( 100 ); and   a ship body fixing unit ( 30 ) that brings contact tools ( 34 ) coupled to front ends of the first cylinders ( 32 ) into contact with the ship body to prevent the ship ( 100 ) from vibrating.   
     
     
         2 . The yacht lifting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein cushion members ( 36 ) of the ship body fixing unit ( 30 ) are attached onto contact surfaces of the contact tools ( 34 ). 
     
     
         3 . The yacht lifting apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first cylinders ( 32 ) are connected to the main body frame ( 10 ) by hinges ( 33 ), and second cylinders ( 38 ) that fold the first cylinders ( 32 ) so as not to interfere when the ship is lifted are provided. 
     
     
         4 . The yacht lifting apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an assistant crane ( 40 ) that includes a post ( 42 ) that is provided at an upper frame ( 12 ) of the main body frame ( 10 ), a beam member ( 44 ) that is horizontally provided at the post ( 42 ), a driving unit ( 46 ) that is provided at one side of the beam member ( 44 ), a wire ( 47 ) that is operated by the driving unit ( 46 ), and a hook ( 48 ) that is hung on the wire ( 47 ).
