The ship lift of Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station (Russian: Судоподъёмник Красноярской ГЭС) is the only ship lift in Russia, started in 1976 (officially put into operation in 1982) at the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station on the Yenisei River. Boat lift consists of the outer harbor, the bottom of the approach channel, the actual lift and turntable. The lift is a platform movable along the track, a track width of 9 m, with rack. Each of the track rails is based on separate overpasses. The movement is carried out by means of electric drive.

For loading the ship lift, the platform is lowered below the water level, the ship enters the lift, then the platform begins to move up the overpass; Ships transported "afloat." At the top of the platform together with the ship pulls into the turntable, which moves it to another track on which the platform is lowered to the upper tail water below the water level, after which the ship may leave the lift.

Developer of boat lift - Lenhydroproject , manufacturer - Lengidrostal.
