Moving and storing sailboats up to 50 tons: Navaltecnosud's solution
The new Set and St sternstacks expand the operational management of sailing hulls with certified modular structures that can be configured based on trolleys, weights and hull geometries
Moving sailboats in the shipyard requires reliable, adaptable systems compatible with a variety of lifting equipment. This is where Navaltecnosud's cradles come in. They are designed to allow the simultaneous lifting of the hull and support using motorized trolleys with forks and crosspieces. The Set series consists of transportable cradles made in various widths and lengths, determined based on the trolley's wheelbase and the vessel's dimensions. Load capacities range from 3 to 30 tons, and the number of props can be varied according to operational needs, adapting the structure to the actual weight and load distribution of the hull.
For larger sailing vessels, the manufacturer has designed a variant with gull-wing props. In this configuration, the trolley enters the central compartment, lifts on its own pistons, and lifts both the strut and the boat, maintaining stability during transfer. Available capacities cover 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 50 tons, allowing shipyards to use the same construction principle for a wide range of displacements. The shape of the lateral supports distributes the load across larger surfaces of the hull and limits concentrated pressure, a useful feature during prolonged stops or during maintenance work.
The production also includes St static dock and drydock cradles, with standard widths between 1.800 and 2.500 mm, lengths from 4.000 to 9.000 mm, and CE-certified capacities from 10 to 70 tons. The adjustable stands, with four to ten elements, are telescopic and tiltable, and feature a ball head and adjustment screw to precisely follow the hull geometry.
The distinctive feature of the Navaltecnosud range is its custom design: each structure is sized by the technical office based on available trailers, shipyard layout, vessel characteristics, and operating conditions. This approach optimizes space, increases storage density, and standardizes handling procedures, with direct benefits for safety and productivity.
