Ships need electric and hydraulic power to move such auxiliary equipment as winches, bow thrusters, freezers, etc. Our power take-off drives (PTO) are integrally attached to our reverse and/or reduction gearboxes and are driven by the propulsion engine.

This solution allows to drive multiple hydraulic pumps and alternators from the main engine, and thus to avoid additional cost for auxiliary engines. Also, the space gained in the engine room can thus be used for the ship’s hold instead. Since PTOs are integrated into the transmission, their installation and maintenance is simple.

Masson-Marine can supply a range of power take-offs for all types of application.
