Hydra Maxximum ROV


The Hydra Maxximum is a cage deployed, dual manipulator 300 hp work class ROV system. Enhanced thruster configuration provides center lift capacity of nearly 3,000 lbs and forward pivoted bollard lift capacity in excess of 1,800 lbs. The system employs a microprocessor-based telemetry system to minimize maintenance, decrease set up time, simplify troubleshooting, and provide more automated control functions. Tooling control is accomplished external to main telemetry in order to maintain both flight control and tooling control at maximum flexibility and efficiency.

A direct fiber optic link between console and vehicle is the primary transmission path for all video and data signals. The link provides the finest quality video available in deepwater ROV technology as well as tremendous bandwidth for sensors and equipment.

The Maxximum design evolved in response to extensive discussions with Customers who were looking for enhanced performance and work capabilities to support their deepwater drilling and field development programs worldwide.
