The lifts on the Canal du Centre are a series of four hydraulic boat lifts near the town of La Louvière in Belgium which are classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. All four are located on the Canal du Centre in Belgium's historic sillon industriel industrial belt.
Along a particular 7 km stretch of the Canal du Centre, which connects the river basins of the Meuse and the Scheldt, the water level rises by 66.2 metres . To overcome this difference, the 15.4 metres lift at Houdeng-Goegnies was opened in 1888. The other three lifts, each with a 16.93 metres rise, opened in 1917.
