New lock gates for the Neckar

Plenty of helping hands and weighty equipment tons ensured the smooth heavy-lift transfer of these lock gates at bayernhafen Bamberg. The transfer of the four lock gates, weighing a total of around 120 tonnes, onto a waiting barge was carried out by skilled team comprising the heavy-lift specialist Felbermayr and Merkel Autokrane.

From Bamberg, the floating giant headed for the Neckar River, stopping off to unload at Horkheim and Deizisau. The lock gates are destined to be used at the Hessigheim lock.
