Hydraulic Bow Thrusters
When it comes to demanding maneuvering situations, VETUS offers a range of Hydraulic Bow Thrusters that stand out in terms of power and precision. These thrusters are meticulously designed to excel in challenging work environments and are available in various power outputs, ranging from 55kgf to an impressive 550kgf. What sets them apart is their ability to operate seamlessly within hydraulic systems, delivering flow rates ranging from 13 liters (3.4 US gallons) per minute to 91 liters (24 US gallons) per minute, at pressures ranging from 165bar (2,393psi) to 280bar (4,061psi), depending on the selected thruster model.
Unparalleled Reliability and Minimal Maintenance
VETUS hydraulic thrusters, while not intended for primary propulsion, are engineered for continuous, reliable performance. One of their distinguishing features is the absence of electrical connections at the thruster or pump(s), reducing potential points of failure. These thrusters demand minimal routine maintenance, ensuring that you can focus on your work without the worry of frequent upkeep.
Control Options Tailored to Your Needs
To enhance your operational flexibility, VETUS offers these hydraulic bow thrusters with several control panels, including proportional control. This means you can precisely adjust the thruster's power output to suit your specific requirements, making maneuvering even the largest vessels a breeze.
Integration with Existing Systems
If your vessel already has a hydraulic system in place that can deliver the necessary flow and working pressure required by the thrusters, VETUS makes it possible to integrate their thrusters into the existing system seamlessly. Alternatively, if you are in need of a complete hydraulic system, VETUS offers comprehensive solutions tailored to your vessel's specifications.
