Applications:
The A-frame is specifically designed to assist in the deployment and retrieval of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and other deep-sea equipment. Its primary applications include:

Underwater Research: Facilitating smooth launch and recovery of ROVs for data collection, inspection, and monitoring in extreme underwater environments.
Deep-Sea Exploration: Supporting scientific missions aimed at studying the ocean floor, marine ecosystems, and underwater phenomena.
Subsea Equipment Handling: Ensuring safe and precise manipulation of heavy subsea instruments such as CTDs (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth sensors) and other oceanographic tools.
Key Features and Advantages:
Swing Reduction Technology: Equipped with an articulated oscillator, the A-frame effectively minimizes swing and instability during operations in heavy sea conditions, ensuring precise handling and enhanced safety.
Startup Safety Mechanism: Including a startup safety valve prevents unintended movement of the A-frame during initial activation, safeguarding both the equipment and crew.
Umbilical Overpull Protection: A built-in system detects excessive tension on the umbilical cable during luffing operations, preventing overpulling and ensuring the integrity of the ROV’s connection.
Automatic Load Detection: Advanced sensors automatically detect compressive loads during equipment landing, preventing potential damage to delicate instruments such as CTDs or ROVs.
High Precision and Durability: Manufactured with marine-grade materials, the A-frame is built to withstand the harsh conditions of deep-sea environments, delivering consistent performance and reliability.
Compact and Retractable Design: The retractable nature of the A-frame ensures efficient use of deck space, making it ideal for vessels with limited operational areas.
Wide Operational Range: With a lifting capacity of 3.5 tonnes, the device is versatile enough to handle various payloads while maintaining smooth and secure operations.
Capabilities:
Dynamic Lifting and Handling: The A-frame’s advanced hydraulic system allows for seamless movement and precise control during deployment and retrieval processes.
Enhanced Safety Features: Multiple safety mechanisms ensure uninterrupted operations, even in challenging conditions, minimizing risks to both the crew and equipment.
Customizable Solutions: OUCO offers tailored configurations to meet the specific needs of research institutions, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of underwater equipment.

The OUCO 3.5-tonne retractable A-frame represents the pinnacle of innovation in deep-sea research equipment.
