Future Rotating Boat Lifts
A similar boat-lift design been suggested for a proposed canal that would run along Marston Vale in Bedfordshire. It would be part of a large-scale project creating an area of leisure and tourism facilities linked to the future expansion of Bedford and Milton Keynes. The lift would link the Grand Union Canal at Milton Keynes with the River Great Ouse at Bedford.
A future expansion of the Forth & Clyde canal at the entrance to the River Forth has been proposed. It would use two new boat-lift structures, with horses' heads around 115 feet (35 m) tall. Models of the Kelpie (mythological horse) heads planned for use in this new boat lift can be seen at the basin of the Falkirk Wheel.
