Azimuth Hydraulic Podded Drives
Hydraulic L-Drive thrusters are thru-hull azimuth thrusters
using Thrustmaster's exclusive hydraulic podded propeller drives.
They are available in a range from 75hp (55kW) to 3,000hp (2250kW)
with either open propeller or with nozzle. The hydraulic
power system is normally supplied by Thrustmaster and may be
configured for our hydraulic pump driven by a customer furnished
diesel engine, which may be placed at any convenient location
in the vessel. Hydraulic piping or hoses connect between
the hydraulic pump and the thruster.
The hydraulic drive provides fully proportional propeller
speed control and is very forgiving when hitting obstacles in
brown water applications.

AutoCAD Drawings
Notice, all drawings are typical only, and can be adjusted
to meet your application needs. We can vary the propeller size
and leg length to best meet the vessel configuration, user preference
or speed versus thrust requirements.
Please note that these drawings are for illustration purposes
only. Please contact your Project Manager about details for your
specific application.
