Our ROV rental fleet includes two 1,500m depth rated Lynx inspection / light work class ROVs, complete with control van and launch / recovery systems. In addition, we have three 300m Falcons that are currently available to the offshore industry. In December 2008, we added a 3,000m rated Super Mohawk ROV to our rental fleet.

We are the company to call for equipment and service to support your diving operations.

The Super Mohawk ROV system

The Super Mohawk ROV system can help complete any project that normally employs a work class vehicle. This fully electric ROV is extremely reliable and very low maintenance. Rated at 3,000m, the Super Mohawk is propelled by six CTE-02 brushless AC thrusters, each developing 45 kgf (100 lbf) of static thrust. With plenty of free space for additional devices, the Super Mohawk can support a range of sensors and equipment including cameras, sonar’s, small and electric hydraulic manipulators, tool skids, small HPUs and torque tools.

With a pan and tilt unit on the upper deck, its camera possesses three simultaneous video channels while lighting consists of 3 - 250 watt halogen lamps. Made of polypropylene, the Super Mohawk has a rigid, open framed design that is high impact resistant and buoyant.

Please refer to our reference library for more information on the Super Mohawk system.

The Lynx ROV

Widely considered to be the observation and inspection vehicle of choice within the oil and gas industry, the Lynx is increasingly chosen for its capabilities in deep water. The Lynx has a maximum working depth rating of 1,500m and can perform well under strong water currents, achieving great ease for operators in handling.

The vehicle's polypropylene chassis has a stainless steel lift frame that is maintenance free, non-corroding and syntactic foam design makes it easy to handle and self-supporting in seawater. Besides having a wide range of interfaces available, the Lynx's brushless DC thrusters have great power density and precise and rapid thrust control. The Lynx has two vertical and four horizontal vectored SM4 250 volt thrusters. A flux-gate compass, rate gyro and depth sensors comprise the auto pilot system. The ROV is complete with a video system consisting of a 90 degree camera tilt platform and 600 watts of lighting with individually fused lamps for brightness control.

The Falcon ROV

With power and versatility, the Falcon ROV is designed for coastal and inshore operations up to 300m and fly away operations offshore. With a maximum umbilical length of 450m, the ROV is designed to have an umbilical upgrade up to 1100m.

Featuring a chassis constructed of polypropylene, this ROV is easily handled, buoyant and corrosion free. Ideal for use in sensitive areas, including fisheries or reefs, the Falcon MCT01 thrusters (4 vectored horizontal and 1 vertical) are magnetically coupled and run cool without oil. The Falcon's 480 TVL resolution color camera sits on an 180 degree platform and the F2 Fibre Optic pack (optional) provides 3 simultaneous video channels. Two forward facing 75 watt tungsten halogen flood lights are fitted, though additional lights may be added.

The first ROV in its class to have a Distributed Intelligence System, 128 devices including thrusters, lights and camera tilt motors may be connected together on a single RS 485 serial network. These devices are then controlled individually by a master processor.
