VETUS Hydraulic Bow Thruster 1215 Lb Including Hydro Motor, 33Kw (44 HP), BOW550HMD

(No tunnel, Control, Cable included)

The hydraulic motor is driven by a hydraulic pump. If a hydraulic pump and associated tank are already installed on board, then , in most cases, this assembly can be used for driving the bow thruster too. In addition to the pump and the hydraulic stage tank, Vetus can supply the required load sensing and control devices, as well as the high pressure hydraulic hoses, complete with end fittings.

All these hydraulic bow thrusters may be fitted to fiberglass, steel or aluminum tunnels or used as a stern thruster using the appropriate installation kit

The three most powerful vetus bow thruster can also be driven in a safe manner using a specially prepared diesel engine, instead of pump on the main engine.

In this case, the matching hydraulic pump will be supplied as part of the powerpack. Installing a powerpack on board can considerably reduce the required generator set capacity, by operating hydraulic functions which are normally electrically powered.
