American futuristic catamaran debut in New York, shaped like a spider

China Daily Online Global News: The New York Harbor has ushered in a compelling "guest". It is like a giant spider striding on the sea, and it seems to be an alien guest coming out of science fiction. In fact, this is a new type of assembled catamaran developed by the US Navy Advanced Research Corporation. It is not only unique in appearance and structure, but also widely used. It can be said to be a “universal ship”.

According to US media reports on September 6, the catamaran named "Poseidon" is like a spider, with a long buoy on each side and a pointed tip. The pontoon is connected by two sets of arched brackets, the center of which is a high cockpit and the passenger cabin behind it. They are all suspended high above the sea and do not come into contact with the sea when traveling or mooring. Although the US Coast Guard has been told in advance that there will be a strange "ship" appearing, when the "Poseidon" approached New York, they also dispatched a small patrol boat for inspection.

The spider-like "Poseidon" is a prototype of the Wave Adaptive Modular Vessels (WAM-V). The unique shape of the Poseidon allows it to adapt to wave-like movements. That is to say, its hull is able to conform to the undulating water surface, rather than pushing, slamming and piercing the waves. The titanium alloy spring mounted in the bracket also helps absorb the vibration generated when the wave breaks forward. Therefore, even in the larger storms, the Poseidon passengers will not feel thrown into the air for a while, and then thrown back into the water. Since the "Poseidon" has few underwater parts and the draught is very shallow, it can also travel freely in shallow waters.

The modular design is also a major feature of the "Poseidon". From the exploded view, all its components, including the float, bracket, cockpit, and passenger compartment, are easy to transport and store. They can be easily assembled. It takes only one hour to assemble the body with a length of 31 meters. , "Sea Spider" with a width of 16 meters. This design also means that any component of the Poseidon can be replaced as needed. For example, a tail mounted propeller can be replaced with a jet propeller. Gasoline engines can also be converted to diesel engines. There are currently 3 designs in the passenger cabin, including 2 seats, 6 seats and 12 seats. When there are a large number of passengers, the cabin can be floated to the surface.

Although the Poseidon is very lightweight, it has the ability to travel across the ocean and can travel 8,000 kilometers with only 2,000 gallons of fuel, with a top speed of 55.5 kilometers per hour. This futuristic ship has the advantages of long range, low fuel consumption, low cost, easy loading and unloading, and low pollution. Therefore, it has broad application prospects in military, civil, marine rescue and scientific investigations.

Diesel Side Loader including 3 ton, 4 ton,5 ton, 7 ton, 8 ton, 10 Ton, both Chinese engine and Japan Isuzu engine optional.

The lifting height from 3 Meter to 6 meter, both 2 stage and 3 stage mast optional.

Shantui Brand side Forklift Truck is a new type of carring scraper. It differs from the counter- balanced one mainly in that the forks are mounted on the side of the body.Besides lifting and tilting, the forks can also traverse to the right side of the truck frame, and retract back alongside the well in the middle section of the truck, long cargoes can be loaded by the forkson/from the truck deck, as well as transported in limites spaces. As the long cargoes are piled lengthwise along, the truck's platform, the width of the passageway required by the forklifter can be redued remarkably. Thereby, the side forklift truck is particularly suitable for handling timber, section steels, line poles, cement tubes, plastic pipes and other kind of bulky, over length cargoes. It found wide applications in the forestry department, railway stations, oilfields, harbours, warehoses, factories, construction sites, etc.
