New Low Cost Tether Management Systems
----------------------------------------------------------
Tired of bailing out, and hauling in cables by hand? Shark Marine is pleased to introduce its new low cost cable handling system. These reels will handle cables for small ROVs, camera systems, sonar equipment as well as many other applications.  Options included, power or manual drive, level wind, lifting bar, and an encoder for metering the cable payout. Starting at 23 kgs, these units were designed to be light in weight, enabling two men to handle the system easily. A lifting bar is also available for crane lifting. The cable reels are manufactured from corrosion resistant materials, and have been built light, yet strong and durable.
Our quick change-out system makes it easy to change cables for different applications, or use the same cable with or without the reel.
