Before the lift begins, the crew sets the ballast, positions the counterweight, aligns the shear legs, and checks every cable. Hydraulic winches then take up tension gradually as the vessel begins to rise.

The lift can take hours because control matters more than speed. The wide hull resists tipping, the counterweight balances the load, ballast compensates for movement, and twin frames spread the force across the platform.
