Hydraulic components

We intervene on the different onboard hydraulic systems: steering systems, integrated hydraulic systems, deck equipment, deck winches, captive winches, boom vangs, hydraulic rams, backstay rams, sheet, outhaul and cunningham rams, windlasses and bow thrusters. We repair cylinders, manufacture hydraulic hoses with stainless steel, steel and brass fittings and supply hydraulic filters. After hydraulic oil sample analysis, if needed, we propose an oil filtration onboard to get rid of sediments and water.

Our equipments

We continue to service Holmatro Marine equipments after their takeover by Reckmann Hydraulic Rigging, for which we are an authorized technical center in the Mediterranean. We also service Cariboni, Lewmar, Navtec and Harken. Bow thruster brands we do work on, are: Sidepower and Lewmar...

Our achievements

On a Wally 77 that encountered difficulties with its outhaul trim, and on the boat's request, we proposed a hydraulic ram driven by the boat's existing hydraulic plant.

On an 88' sailboat, the rudderblade moved while the tiller was motionless. After analysis, we discovered that the ram’s piston was damaged and preceded with its repair.

We also proposed a more powerful windlass to replace the model installed after conducting measurements to validate the gaugeing, while still using the existent hydraulic power pack with a few minor alterations.
