Hoistable decks

Hoistable decks are sections of a ship’s deck that can be raised or lifted. They are used to improve the ship’s loading and unloading capabilities by providing additional access or clearance when needed. These decks are typically supported by a system of pulleys, cables, or hydraulic mechanisms, allowing them to be moved vertically. This design helps facilitate the handling of cargo, especially in vessels carrying large or heavy items, by creating temporary openings or adjusted heights. Hoistable decks enhance a ship’s versatility and operational efficiency without permanently altering its structure.
