Crane Launch and Recovery System (LARS)

Hydro Products Asia provide Launch and Recovery Systems (LARS) that feature a combined umbilical winch and overboarding system on a base frame. Our LARS are designed specifically for deploying and recovering tethered powered objects, such as: towed arrays, ROVs or any other underwater vehicles.

The Mk3 Self Ballast Crane Launch and Recovery System (LARS) is a compact system with a small footprint, which offers a plug in and play quick start operating. Designed to launch off an Oil and Gas Platform or Jack-Up without the need to secure the Mk3 to the deck.

For security and transit the crane is stowed away with the ROV safely housed underneath, the gates are locked in place around the system. The gates can be folded back and locked open during operation.

The ballast tank fitted to the rear of the Mk3 allows for 650liters of (fresh / salt) water to be held providing a fully counter-balanced system; removing the need for welding to the deck.

Electric Tether Winch

The Mk8 Electric Tether Winch is designed to store and deploy soft tethers for a variety of free swimming Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs).

Fitted with a variable speed electric drive the winch is controlled using a simple to operate handheld pendant.

The very small footprint of the winch makes it ideal for use on small vessels of opportunity and can be rapidly deployed thanks to the built in “plug and play” setup.
