Purpose-built for offshore and diving operations
Heavy Duty LARS units are engineered to handle the complexities of launching and recovering diving baskets and bells and other specialized underwater systems. The Heavy Duty LARS systems ensure safe operations even in rough sea states, protecting both personnel and valuable equipment.
Key components
- A-frame for safe lifting and deployment
- Basket or wet bell for secure support of divers
- Winch System with precise control for lowering and raising
- Heavy Clump Weight for better stability of the basket or bell
- Remote-Controlled Operation for enhanced safety
- Hydraulic system for smooth operation
Typical applications
- Offshore Oil & Gas
- Offshore Renewable Energy (e.g. wind farms)
- Commercial Diving Operations
- Defense and Naval Applications
- Marine Scientific Research
Safety first
Safety is integral to the design of every LARS. Systems include robust safety features such as:
- Fail-safe winch brakes
- Remote control operation to reduce personnel exposure
- Secondary means of recovering the bell or basket
- High-quality materials to withstand corrosion and heavy use
Available options and customization
Our Heavy Duty LARS can be tailored to meet specific operational needs with a range of options and upgrades as for example:
- Hydraulic powerpack
- Wired remote control
- Stainless steel bridge
- Floodlights
- Clump weight upgrades
- Catcher and bumper guiding systems
- Additional sheave blocks
- Frame modifications and engineering changes (including ABS classification)
- Pump and motor upgrades
- Secondary backup systems matching main systems
Certification
We understand the critical role of certification in offshore operations. Our Heavy Duty LARS can be delivered with ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) classification or other required certifications, ensuring compliance with international standards and customer requirements. We work closely with classification societies to support all necessary design reviews, material quality checks, surveys, and engineering documentation.
Maintenance
Reliable performance depends on regular, professional maintenance. We offer comprehensive maintenance services for all LARS systems, including inspection, preventive servicing, repair, and spare parts support. Whether it’s routine scheduled maintenance or emergency repairs offshore, our service team ensures your LARS is always ready for safe, efficient operation.
