Schiffshebewerk (Plan Incliné)
Sight / aim
The ship lift in Saint-Loius-Arzviller, which could also be called a ship lift, was put into operation in 1969 after a construction phase of 6 years (1964-1969). It replaces 17 locks that ships used to take a day to pass through. Today the difference in altitude of 44.55 meters is overcome in 4 minutes. A trough filled with water (41.50 m long, 5.50 m wide, water depth 3.20) takes the ships and is pulled up and down on rollers on an inclined plane. During the descent, the trough is filled with so much water that its weight is slightly greater than that of the counterweights. Conversely, for the ascent, some water is drained into the valley-side channel, so that the trough is somewhat lighter than the counterweights.
