The Syncrolift shiplift was invented in the mid-1950s by the American Chief Marine Engineer, Raymond Pearlson when he was working for Merrill Stevens, which is a Miami small shipyard. Raymond was entrusted with the construction of a 300-ton lifting capacity boatlift and transfer system, and during the process of execution, he developed an innovative drydocking concept using simple electro-mechanical components to overcome the inherent limitations of lifting capacity and size.

In 1957, he designed and built the first Syncrolift shiplift with a lifting capacity of 100 tons, and in 1958, he formed Pearlson Engineering Company (PECO) to develop his invention. PECO was taken over in 1959 by the British engineering group Northern Engineering Industries, which later became part of Rolls-Royce.

Syncrolift® has been a solution provider to shipyards worldwide because it incorporates Shiplift systems, Transfer systems & docking equipment. It is also conditioned to move its parts and to operate under harsh extreme environmental conditions which include; changing temperatures, high loading, and severely corrosive salty atmospheres containing dust& dirt.

 

The correct selection of top-class high-performance lubricants while keeping these requirements in mind, will ensure a safe and reliable operation for the Syncrolift systems.

 ROCOL offers you the safest and most efficient docking solutions.

 World Top Class Wire Rope Lubricants.

Even though wire ropes seem to be simple in appearance, they are actually complex in reality that’s why they require specialized lubricants to achieve optimum performance and service life, and since the wire rope is considered to be the most expensive consumable part of the Syncrolift, ROCOL has decided way long back to increase its efficiency!

 

ROCOL wire rope lubricants do not only lubricate but penetrate the internal surfaces of the rope while leaving a highly sticky layer on the external outer part. This prevents both outer and inner strands from corrosion over extended periods of time.

 

ROCOL ®BIOGEN WIRESHIELD& WIRE ROPE DRESSING:

 

We call them revolutionary market leaders in corrosion protection for their high stability in the presence of saltwater. They reduce friction& wear and are highly resistant to water wash-off& fling.

 

ROCOL does not only provide outstanding lubrication to your wire ropes, but it also makes sure to keep the environment safe!

 

ROCOL ®BIOGEN WIRESHIELD is biodegradable which results in minimal eco-toxicity and low bioaccumulation potential.

 

Increase The Transferring Capability of Syncrolift Shiplift.

  

 

Lower Sheave and Wheel bearings:

 

The lower sheaves and wheels are placed below the Syncrolift platform. As a result, these parts become fully immersed in water.

 

ROCOL ® SAPPHIRE AQUA 2

 

We steer your marine equipment to safety!

 

ROCOL equips you with the necessary to extend the lifetime of your bearings and sheaves in the harshest operating environment. ROCOL ® SAPPHIRE AQUA 2 offers incredible resistance against water& corrosion. Therefore, reducing equipment failure, downtime, and lubricant usage.

 

 

You don’t want to shift your gears?

 

  

Open Gears:

 

Synrcrolift gears operate under extremely heavy load, so if the gears are not well lubricated, the gear teeth can suffer severe wear, potentially leading to breakage and downtime. In addition, the open gears of a Syncrolift face the full force of the marine environment, and any lubricant applied must be of a high quality to remain integrity in saltwater conditions and to protect the gears from corrosion.

 ROCOL ® TUFGEAR UNIVERSAL.

 

In a market full of counterfeiting, falsification, and forging, we are known for our high quality and genuine performance to the highest level that you can always depend on us.

 

ROCOL ® TUFGEAR UNIVERSAL is a heavy-duty adhesive open gear grease designed for the effective lubrication and protection of gears used in extreme environments.

 

 

we are fundamentally the best known for what we call ''our high standards of performance & quality.''

  

 

Bearings& Pins:

Running a bearing with insufficient lubricant can lead to wear, resulting in increased vibration and possible seizure. However, using too much or the wrong type of lubricant for the bearing can be equally as harmful. This is because it can cause slippage of the bearing elements or degradation of the lubricating medium which can increase friction and heat, leading to premature failure. Syncrolift bearings should be lubricated with highly water-resistant grease which will protect the elements from corrosion, prevent wash-out of the grease, and exclude particulates from the moving surfaces.

ROCOL ® SAPPHIRE 2

 

 

 

Offers you a three-time increase in the lubrication interval against any other bearing grease. The revolutionary multi-complex soap technology provides superior extreme pressure performance and outstanding corrosion resistance in wet conditions.

 

                        As ROCOL, we want to leave you with a glimpse into the almost unbelievable. 

 

TTS Syncrolift appoints ROCOL as recommended lubricants manufacturer.

 

 

ROCOL® has secured a key agreement with the world’s leading shiplift company. TTS Syncrolift which manufactures 90% of all shiplifts worldwide, has appointed ROCOL as its recommended lubricant manufacturer.

 

 

Norway-based TTS Syncrolift is part of TTS Group, a global organization that designs, develops and supplies equipment solutions and services for the marine and offshore industries. ROCOL products have been applied to all new build shiplifts by TTS.

 

Svein Gaarder, Installation and Commissioning Manager at TTS Syncrolift, said: “ROCOL has an industry-wide reputation for the quality of its products and we are delighted to endorse the business as our recommended lubricant manufacturer.”

 

TTS Syncrolift recognizes the value of ROCOL products and their long-term value in terms of equipment life extension, downtime reduction, safety, efficiency and environmental standards.

 

 

 To many more years of advancement & quality with ROCOL.
