Does this not serve the same purpose as a set of locks only with higher lift heights?

It does serve the same purpose but in a much shorter distance.
It also much quicker than a flight of locks.

The backyard mechanic in me is curious as to how much weight this will lift and how thick the material is that holds the water. I can spend hours just looking and crawling on things as this.

Seems I was misinformed. It was designed by Edwin Clark, check out wickepedia for all the history and facts about the lift

I had seen a piece on the Discovery channel I think, about this boat lift. It is amazing to watch.
The Canal and River Trust have an informative site with video.
