AB Water transport is an integral part of load transport system and therefore its safe functioning is necessary. At waterways the frequent obstacles are hydro-electric power plants which are equipped with canal locks to allow the canalisation of the river. To provide safe sailing of ships through such a locks without causing any damage, the canal locks are equipped with a protective system against impact in addition to other devices even in emergencies. This paper describes a proposal of a new construction of the trolley of dynamic canal lock protection as well as a design of its drive.
