Never seen this before... but it looks good..

Think there is a vid of it on Utube being used... looks odd but nice too.

Anyone used it?

Never seen anything like it before.... was talking to a guy at work about barges and this came up as i mentioned locks.. Looks almost space aged.

Build a slope lol... err.. WATER!!! and slopes.... hmmmmm

Looking around i see the French have huge lifting machines on the canels... some look like mamoth cranes on water.

Takes the same amout of pwoer to run a kettle as it does to lift the barge up, thats good.
