Offshore: Hydraulic solutions designed for extreme conditions

In the offshore industry, hydraulic systems play a key role on vessels, loader arms, oil rigs and cranes. These often extreme environments, exposed to salt, seawater and sand, demand the highest quality standards.

Douce-Hydro designs hydraulic cylinders capable of meeting these challenges. We supply equipment, expertise and components to offshore vessels, drilling platforms, port companies and other players in the sector.

Our cylinders, tested before installation, are specifically designed to withstand water, wind and salt. Douce-Hydro provides reliable, durable solutions for the most demanding conditions in the offshore industry.
