The Smartquadrant – E bow cable engine has been designed to assist in loading of various cable types from fibre optic to medium sized power cables.
The complete system consists out of two quadrants and one central electrically driven hydraulic power unit with a wired remote control.
As the system is electrically driven, whereby the system can be used both for loading of cables in harbours and for transpooling of cables onboard cable lay vessels or freighters.
