UTRoV
Multi-functioning load bearing remotely operated vehicle
Load bearing UTRoV system is vertically tethered and can be deployed by a vessel crane or launch and recovery system, (LARS). It has a 55-ton safe working load (SWL) and includes a full range of sensors and integrated controls. The system has a range of available tooling; various grabs, shears, excavators, lifting frames, and a highly innovative mattress recovery tool (MRT).
The UTROV system itself combines activities traditionally undertaken by WRoV manipulation, combined with tooling launched by a vessel crane or LARS.
The key benefit being that the UTRoV combines these activities
