The Movable Pool Floor on Yachts Stops Mid-Travel
Movable pool floors installed on yachts require marine-grade components, precise engineering, and regular maintenance. Sometimes, the movable floor may stop halfway during ascent or descent: this behavior is linked to the integrated safety systems. In such cases, the PLC automatically interrupts movement when it detects a structural anomaly or a sensor-related issue, protecting the system and ensuring onboard safety. This page explains the most common causes of this stoppage and how to restore regular operation.
Why does the yacht pool movable floor stop halfway?
When the movable pool floor on a yacht stops halfway through its travel, it is important to understand which factors may have caused the interruption. This is often related to sensor issues, hydraulic pressure, or structural conditions of the platform. Listed below are the main causes that can lead to this type of blockage and compromise correct system operation:
- An obstacle in the travel path
- Position sensors that are not consistent with each other
- Platform deformation
- Pressure below the minimum movement thresholds
- Error in the upper or lower end-of-travel limit
- Overload on the movable floor surface
To intervene safely and restore proper operation, it is essential to identify the cause of the blockage as quickly as possible, ensuring stable and reliable movement of the movable floor.
What to do to restart the movable floor on board?
When the yacht pool movable floor stops halfway through its travel, a targeted intervention is required to restore full functionality and ensure onboard safety. The Centro Italia Yachting team performs in-depth checks on blockage points and friction-prone areas, resets end-of-travel limits and recalibrates sensors, measures pressures during movement, and carries out both static and dynamic tests until full travel is achieved.
In addition, structural alignment is carried out to ensure that the movable floor operates in a stable and regular manner, in compliance with shipyard specifications and maritime safety standards.
