Deck Machinery Review (continued) which the hydraulic pump sets are installed. This eliminates extensive piping from hydraulic pump sets in- stalled below deck to deck winches.

All winch functions can be con- trolled remotely from the bridge as well as the winch. The windlass is combined with a roller chain stop- per for 50-mm stud link chain. This unit allows an automatically con- trolled lowering of the anchor at a constant speed.

Also new in Hatlapa's production program are the freshwater evapo- rators of the Atlas Bremen type designed for freshwater production of 3.9 tons per day. The range of evaporators offered by Hatlapa pro- vides a daily capacity of up to 100 tons.

The company's series of 4-cylin- der, ram-type steering gears with built-in rudder carrier has been ex- tended. The new type R4L 380 steering gear is designed for a rud- der stock diameter of 160-380 mm having a split type rudder carrier, easily accessible for servicing.

To supplement its series of 3- stage, air-cooled compressors, Hat- lapa has introduced the new type

L75/L95 for capacities of 60-110 cubic meters per hour.

In the face of increasing competi- tion in the shipbuilding industry,

Hatlapa supports shipyards and owners by fast and detailed submit- ting of bids, using word processing for preparation of individual offers.

HIAB CRANES

Circle 28 on Reader Service Card

With its exceptional freedom of movement provided by the "knuck- leboom" principle, the 110 Sea

Crane from HIAB Cranes & Load- ers, Inc. of New Castle, Del., has proven very successful on a number of documented cargo- and material- handling applications. These cranes are currently in worldwide use on many types of tugs, supply vessels, icebreakers, dredges, barges, re- search vessels, buoy- and light-tend- ing boats, firefighting vessels, diving support craft, and oil pollution re- covery boats.

When compared with stiff-boom cranes and derricks, the knuckle- boom crane is said to offer a wide range of desirable features for ship- board use including precise load handling, extra capacity and re- duced reach, total overload protec- tion, minimal storage and mounting space, and an abundant work area coverage.

Because of the flexible elbow or "knuckle," the HIAB 110 crane has a low operating height. This feature prevents the crane from interfering or entangling with the vessel's rig- ging or other overhead obstructions.

The simple but effective design, the sophisticated use of corrosion-resis- tant materials in its construction, and the high-pressure hydraulic sys- tem makes the 110 crane lighter in weight than conventional cargo- handling units; this weight differ- ence also permits a bigger cargo payload.

Designed specifically for use in the saltwater environment, the

HIAB 110 is constructed with gal- vanized components, waterproof fit- tings, nickel/chrome-plated boom cylinders, and is protected further with special marine coatings for maximum corrosion resistance.

Compact in design and extremely maneuverable, the 110 can be oper- ated by one man.

The crane also incorporates a pro- prietary one-piece control valve that provides smooth, responsive, and exact crane movements. Pilot-con- trolled check valves inside the con- trol valve hold the boom and load dead still in position, even over extended time periods. The HIAB 110 also features built-in protection against overloading and line failure.

Every valve function has pressure- relief valves that prevent lifting should the load be too heavy. Hose- failure valves on the inner and outer boom clyinders immediately arrest the lowering movements if any of the lines should fail.

A.C. HOYLE

The A.C. Hoyle Company of Iron

Mountain, Mich., has been a major supplier of deck machinery to the marine industry for about a quarter of a century. The company offers a complete line of deck equipment including anchor windlasses, con- stant-tension mooring winches, top- ping and vang winches, towing winches, fairleads, chocks, and bitts to both the naval and commercial marine markets.

Hoyle was awarded the 14-ship minesweeper contract to supply all of the sweep deck machinery, in- cluding the hydraulic power units, magnetic cable reels, minesweep acoustic cable reels, and the mag- netic cable reels, along with two stern cranes for each of the MCM ships.

Though equipment can be built to numerous standard designs, the company specializes in custom building to customer specifications.

Hoyle personnel are available to as- sist customers from preliminary de- sign stages through final design, in- stallation, and testing. Major con- siderations are given to providing the best equipment available to meet customer requirements at af- fordable and competitive prices.

Winches, windlasses, capstans, and cranes are available with all- electric, electrohydraulic, hydraulic, static DC, or diesel drives. All deck equipment, including fittings is available in conventional steel con- struction as well as in stainless steel and aluminum. The company offers new technology in weight-saving de- signs, materials, and performance.

Non-magnetic deck machinery has now been introduced to the

Hoyle product line under the Navy's

Mine Countermeasure (MCM) ship program. Also, a new design of haulage winch is scheduled for de- livery to the Army Corps of Engi- neers for installation at nine locks on the Mississippi River.

HYDE PRODUCTS

Hyde Products, Inc. is a leading supplier of ship's deck machinery and steering gears, serving the ma- rine industry since 1865. Originally founded as the Hyde Windlass

Company in Bath, Maine, Hyde to- day is headquartered in Cleveland.

Equipment offered by Hyde in- cludes complete steering systems, vertical and horizontal anchor wind- lasses, constant-tension mooring winches, cargo winches, special-pur- pose winches, capstans, mooring chocks, special pump systems, oil/ water separators, and oil spill recov- ery equipment. While Hyde has a standard product line, custom-de- signed machinery is its specialty.

Hyde equipment is installed on hundreds of naval, commercial, and fishing vessels, as well as on work- boats and barges operating in the

U.S. and throughout the world.

In addition to equipment manu- facturing, Hyde offers replacement parts and service capabilities, and maintains complete microfilm files of original equipment drawings to provide replacement parts that ex- actly match original specifications.

Hyde also offers deck machinery overhaul and refurbishing services.

Experienced service personnel per- form installations, repair, and over- haul work worldwide.

Hyde now offers replacement parts, service, and upgrades for Pine

Tree Engineering Company-manu- factured equipment as well, includ- ing anchor windlasses, capstans, and constant-tension mooring winches.

Pine Tree designed and built equip- ment for a variety of vessels, notably the LASH and Seabee ships.

Among Hyde's more recently completed contracts are several re- ceived from the Korean Navy and

Korean shipyards for steering sys- tems, anchor windlasses, and cap- stans for a total of 19 frigates, cor- vettes, and other naval vessels. The steering systems supplied for 12

ROK corvettes included an elec- tronic control system, eliminating the conventional differential control system. Hyde is currently supplying 10 additional shipsets of corvette steering systems and deck machin- ery through a Korean licensee.

Hyde is manufacturing the an- chor windlasses and several types of refueling-at-sea winches for the am- phibious assault ship Wasp (LHD- 1) being built at Ingalls Shipbuild- ing for the U.S. Navy, and is actively involved in many other U.S. Navy and commercial projects, including upgrading steering systems to meet the new IMO redundancy require- ments.
