Propulsion Units

Home > Products > Propulsion Units

Propulsion units are self-contained thruster packages for main propulsion and positioning of barges, platforms and river craft.  They are available either with direct engine drive, using geared power transmissions or with hydraulic drive.  The hydraulic drive is especially suited for shallow, brown water applications while the geared units are primarily used in deeper, blue water.  Request our Brown Water CD-ROM for shallow water application considerations.
