As of 2013, a strong partnership has been built among Lofrans’ and Max Power
thrusters creating a synergy in yacht control and maneuvering solutions.
As a natural evolution from simple stand-alone independent units, Max Power
is able to offer fully integrated hydraulic systems for sailing yachts. Whether
running winches, windlasses, bow thrusters, stern thrusters, hydraulic davits or
complex keel lifting mechanisms, our complete hydraulic solutions are used by
many of the world’s large sailing yacht manufacturers. Unique in their
flexibility, Our systems are built using a common central line principle.
This means any function can be run from any power source thereby allowing a
high level of user control. The use of load sensing pumps and valves ensures
efficient and silent operation over a wide range of hydraulic flows and
pressures. Our experience in designing and supplying complete solutions ensures
that a Max Power-Lofrans’ integrated system will be efficient, flexible and
reliable.
Sailing yacht power systems typically include one or several generator
mounted hydraulic pumps and in addition will require a DC power pack for silent
sailing and light maneuvering. The PowerValve™ power pack range used in our
systems, offers exceptional flexibility and power efficiency over a wide range
of hydraulic flows.
Available as single or twin motor units, each motor pump can deliver 3 flow
ratings at two predetermined system pressures, thereby accommodating a wide
variety of hydraulic functions. From high pressure, low flow keel, to a powerful
high flow windlass, each function only draws the amperage needed for that
specific application.
