SHIP-LIFTING DEVICES OR MECHANISMS

Description

E02C covers mechanical and hydraulic systems designed to lift, raise, or vertically transport ships and vessels. This includes ship lifts, drydocks, floating docks, and related infrastructure mechanisms that enable vessels to be removed from water for maintenance, repair, or transfer between water levels. The classification encompasses the structural design, operational mechanisms, and control systems of such devices, whether powered by hydraulics, electricity, or other means. Adjacent classes address general hydraulic engineering (E02D), foundation work (E02B), and specific water transport infrastructure.
