Mini-skid units preserve precious deck space.  The engine can be installed remotely and a single engine may power multiple thrusters.

Mini-skid thrusters are a key component of Thrustmaster’s exclusive Portable Dynamic Positioning System.

Contact our Sales Department for a proposal tailored to your application requirements, or request  our AutoCAD drawing CD-ROM for drawings of various sizes and configurations.

THRUSTMASTER Mini-Skid AutoCAD Drawings

The “Thrustmaster” is recommended for dynamic positioning applications, double-ended river ferries and similar applications where thru 360 degree steering is required. It uses a multi-port hydraulic swivel assembly and hydraulic motor powered slewing drives for steering.

WORKMASTER Mini-Skid AutoCAD Drawings

The “Workmaster” is recommended for general propulsion applications. Since the propeller can run in reverse as easily as it runs in forward mode by virtue of the over-center hydrostatic transmission drive, the “Workmaster” is capable of directing thrust in any direction of the compass. It uses a hydraulic actuator for steering and is simpler and less expensive than the “Thrustmaster”.
