The Falkirk Wheel is a one-of-a-kind elevator in Falkirk, Scotland. It is a rotating boat lift, connecting the Union Canal and the Forth and Clyde Canal, and transporting boats between them, thus serving as a lift between the canals that are 79 feet apart in height. This is the only rotating boat lift, turned by 10 hydraulic motors. The 600 ton apparatus runs, perfectly level, using only 30.2 horsepower.
