After more than 60 years of history in the field of hydraulic motor manufacturers, Oleodinamica Geco ranges from industrial, mobile and agricultural machinery applications, standing out for its expertise in marine hydraulic systems.
In the nautical/naval sector, the company’s product has equipped, over time, much of the deck equipment: anchor windlasses, capstans, winches dedicated to the world of deep-sea or racing sailing, mainsail furlers, jib furlers, as well as crane gangways for tenders, fishing winches, bow and stern thrusters, or even primary propulsion on workboats or on refitting of sea queens such as vintage sails.
The high level of quality offers particularly high efficiencies, such that high torques can be transmitted with almost no noise—an essential feature for modern deck equipment solutions.
The oleodynamic motor has very small overall dimensions when compared to any other motor of a different category (endothermic or electric) with the same power expressed, with the advantage of being able to place the power unit on board in any position of the vessel according to the optimization of weight and space, a crucial benefit in hydraulic marine propulsion design.
Finally, the Geco range of Oleodynamics can for all intents and purposes be called sustainable: it is powered by pressurized oil that can be produced:
• from an endothermic engine, but taking advantage of its greater efficiency by running it at the optimal speed specified by the manufacturer to have the least polluting impact;
• by an electrically powered oil power plant, taking energy from the batters alone, a direction aligned with modern sustainable marine technology and nautical engineering solutions.
