Power Hydraulics

VETUS Hydraulic Systems are an excellent way to move the power of a “Prime Mover” engine to user devices around the boat, by
means of the controlled flow of high pressure fluid moving through flexible hoses or rigid tubes. The prime mover may be a main
propulsion engine, the engine of a diesel generator, or a “powerpack” engine dedicated to powering the hydraulic system. A user
device is any item or system of mechanical equipment, including bow and stern thrusters, windlasses, capstans, winches, cranes,
hatch lifters, roll stabilizers and power steering.
Hydraulic systems are complex and require a lot of expertise but the results are well worth the effort. A VETUS customer support
team member is available by email, to discuss your boat configuration and usage and to recommend hydraulic user devices and
central system equipment.
You will receive our recommendations for your Power Hydraulic system within 48 hours of all information being received and
finalized. Remember that in some cases it is difficult or impossible to retrofit a power take-off and it is therefore recommended to
order a power take-off when purchasing an engine or gearbox.
