Heavy duty Hercules at Seawork 2013
22 Oct 2012
The HHBT40 will take pride of place on the Hercules stand in 2013
A heavy-duty bow thruster joins the range of Hercules Hydraulics products and will take pride of place on the company’s stand at Seawork 2013.
The Model HHBT40 has been designed by Hercules specifically for workboats and continuous duty and comes complete with a specially produced tunnel, extruded from grade 5083 aluminium alloy, to typically match the hull material of aluminium vessels.
With long life and simple maintenance in mind, the Hercules HHBT40 features a stainless steel shaft, spiral bevel gears and a standard SAE flanged interface for a hydraulic motor, to enable installers to integrate the thruster into existing hydraulic systems.
Installation of the HHBT40 is straightforward. As the tunnel is constructed from grade 5083 extruded aluminium tube it can be simply welded into the vessel at the boatyard. The Thruster then requires bolting in place and connection to the hydraulic system. More information at www.herculeshydraulics.co.uk
