Described is a device for lifting an object from a deck of a vessel subject to movements in a heave direction. The device comprises a support surface (6a) for the object provided at a first height (11) in the heave direction relative to the deck. A lifting crane (5) is configured to take up the object from the support surface (6a) at a lifting point thereof at a lifting speed. An actuator system (16) is configured to lower the support surface (6a) relative to the deck at the instant in time at which the object is lifted from the surface to a second height in the heave direction at a lowering speed. A method using the device is also described.

A soft robotic bending actuator has a stiff layer bonded to a softer layer where the softer layer is a cellular solid with interconnected voids. The softer layer contracts under a negative pressure differential between the internal pressure of the actuator and its environment applied along its axial direction. The contraction results in a bending motion; i.e., an increased curvature away from the stiff layer.

A traffic barrier lifter mountable on a boom and having a gearbox with a first and a second rotating axis; a pair of opposing arms directly mounted to the first and second rotating axis and a rotator capable of rotating the lifter relative to the boom, wherein the gearbox is capable of moving the pair of opposing arms from an open position to a closed position such that the arms can clamp onto a traffic barrier. The rotator being capable of rotating the arms and traffic barrier relative to the boom.

A wire rope device having adjustable length between a first end and a second end thereof. The wire rope device comprises a first wire rope extending from the first end and a second wire rope extending from the second end. A length adjusting structure is disposed between the first end and the second end. The length adjusting structure has the first wire rope and the second wire rope connected thereto. A support structure is disposed between the first end and the second end. The support structure has the length adjusting structure rotatable movable mounted thereto. A first guiding structure and a second guiding structure are disposed in the support structure for guiding the first wire rope and the second wire rope, respectively, such that when in operation a portion of the first wire rope extending from the first guiding element and a portion of the second wire rope extending from the second guiding element are disposed substantially along a same straight line. A drive mechanism is mounted to the support structure and connected to the length adjusting structure for adjusting the length of the wire rope device by rotatably moving the length adjusting structure.
