Ronquieres, Information and images

  • The four historic ship lifts link France with Brussels via the major Canal du Center and the Charleroi Canal.. From 1888 to 1917, the Belgian part of the Canal du Center was built and a height difference of about 70 meters had to be overcome in this section.. <9> Four ship lifts - all worth seeing - were built according to the following principle: <9> Two interconnected tubs (45 m long, 5.8 m wide and 3.15 m high) each sit on a hydraulic cylinder controlled by valves becomes.. If one tub is lifted, the second sinks.. <9> <9> <1001> <9> <9> However, as the size of the freighters has changed, the world´s largest lift ´Strepy Thieu´ has been built.. <9> <9> <1002> <9> <9> Since 2002, the historic elevators are no longer used for freight traffic, but only for tourist trips and small boats.. <9> Since 1998, these facilities have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.. <9> <9> Another very interesting variant of the lifting equipment was ´the inclined plane´ in Roquieres. Here, the height difference is overcome by means of a double inclined lift.. <9> <9> <1003>
