Construction began in 1976 at the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station on the Yenisei River. Operation began in 1982. The boat lift consists of the outer harbor, the bottom of the approach channel, the actual lift and turntable. The platform of the lift moves along the rack railway, with the track gauge of 9 m.

When this is complete, the ship may leave the lift. Developer of boat lift - Lenhydroproject, manufacturer - Lengidrostal.
