Is Your Legacy Wire Rope System Driving Up Costs and Lowering Revenue?

Making the switch from wire rope to chain jacks is simple.

See a side-by-side comparison of wire rope vs. chain.

And after the switch? No more expensive grease enters the water.

And our chain-based system will never experience a failure resulting from a rope skipping a sheave, snagging, and breaking due to debris lodged in the submerged lower sheaves.

The system of your dreams that fits the reality of your budget

With the Bardex OmniLift™ line of shiplifts, you’ll experience benefits that streamline construction and boost operational efficiency, including:

  • Minimize disruption and speed up installation by using your existing civil works with few to no modifications.
  • Cut construction costs significantly by reducing the number and size of piles required by up to 33%.
  • Save on materials and labor with up to 50% less concrete needed for pier construction.
  • Lower your foundation expenses by reducing pile cap thickness by up to 25%.
  • Increase your revenue opportunities and market share with up to 25% more lift capacity, using the same number of lift stations.
  • Boost operational efficiency and reduce costs by 20% to 33% compared with legacy wire rope systems.
  • Upgrade after original duty life or when your yard outgrows its current needs, like some of our repeat clients have.

The chain jack occupies only one-third the space of a winch in wire rope systems.
