Company Profile

Introduction

Founded in 2004 and Incorporated in February 2005, Hydraulic Marine Systems (HMS), through advanced hydraulic and mechanical technology, designs and manufactures a commercial line of Propulsion Systems (Hydraulic Thrusters) utilized in a wide range of applications suited to the Marine Industry. HMS' propulsion systems began with a patented, self-contained single propeller hydraulic thruster which was designed for use on marine construction jobsite barges and platforms. From there, the company, and our product line, has grown to include a much larger Twin propeller Self-contained Thruster Series, Fixed Position bolt-on Thrusters, Thru-Hull Azimuth style Thrusters and Outboard Mounted Variable Position (Tilt-able) Hydraulic Thrusters. Our Thrusters are designed to fit a range of power needs, from 100hp/75Kw - 600Hp/448Kw.

Focus

HMS' founding principals have guided our growth with a philosophy of providing Hydraulic Propulsion Systems which are extremely durable, cost effective for the customer and adaptable to a wide range of applications. Our team of professionals is dedicated to designing and manufacturing the highest quality products available in the industry whilst placing great emphasis on consideration for the environment and its protection for future generations. Tier 3A and 4 Industrial engines, noise suppression exhaust systems, biodegradeable hydraulic oils, nozzles and propeller guards all contribute to protection of waterways, sea-bottom and marine life.
