Veth Compact Grid

Category:

The Veth Compact Grid is available in three models: VCG-400 (50 kW, ?400 mm), VCG-600 (99 kW, ?580 mm) and VCG-750 (177 kW, ?750 mm). Each features a direct-driven hydraulic or electric motor, 4-blade NiAl bronze propeller, electric steering and a hydrodynamic housing with 360? steerable grate. Options include shallow-draught installation, bow thruster configuration and minimal-maintenance design, delivering maximum thrust, efficiency and manoeuvrability in a compact and cost-effective solution.

Are you looking for a compact bow thruster that is easy to install, provides maximum thrust with minimum immersion and that can also be used for emergency propulsion? If so the Veth Compact Grid is the right option for you.

The Veth Compact Grid offers the advantages of two existing Veth solutions: the simplicity of the Veth Steering Grid and the angled screw of the Veth Compact Jet.
