ROV Launch and Recovery Systems
We design and manufacture custom ROV Launch and Recovery Systems for offshore and subsea applications. Our systems operate in Sea State 6+ conditions, handling cables from 6-150mm diameter with capacities from 1-16Te. Zone 2 hazardous area compliance ensures safety in extreme environments.
Hydraulic Power Units
Our hydraulic power units range from compact 5kW systems to large 3x125kW units for ship integration. Designed for reliability in offshore and industrial settings, they provide precise control for demanding operations, including winches and lifting equipment.
Winches
With over 300 designs, our winches handle wire rope, fibre, umbilical, and hose systems. Applications include subsea deployment, spooling, and hazardous area operations. ATEX-certified pneumatic and hydraulic models ensure safety in explosive environments.
Testing Systems
We conduct comprehensive testing for hydraulic systems, ropes, and cables, including pressure vessels and electric controls. Subcontract testing services ensure compliance with industry standards, supporting clients' operational safety and equipment reliability.
Personnel and Goods Lifts
We engineer lifts for safe and hazardous areas, including goods lifts for FPSOs and naval stores. Our designs prioritise safety and durability, meeting stringent offshore and industrial requirements for personnel and cargo transportation.
