STD Compact Launch & Recovery System (LARS)

Ensure the safety and efficiency of your commercial diving operations with the STD Launch & Recovery System (LARS) from Arya Engineering Works. Designed for ease of mobilization and compact footprints, this LARS is the ideal solution for vessel-based diving or platforms with limited deck space. The system integrates a hydraulic A-Frame, a certified man-riding winch, and a corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel (SS) diver basket into a single, robust unit. Engineered to meet strict offshore safety standards, it provides controlled deployment and recovery of divers, enhancing operational safety in harsh marine environments.

Features
Key product advantages
  • Compact Skid Design: The entire system utilizes a small footprint, making it easy to transport and install on vessels of opportunity (VOOs), barges, or quaysides.
  • Hydraulic Luffing A-Frame: Features powerful hydraulic cylinders to smoothly tilt (luff) the A-frame over the side of the vessel for deployment and retract it for safe recovery.
  • Stainless Steel Diver Basket: The diving cage is fabricated from high-grade Stainless Steel for maximum corrosion resistance. It includes secure handrails, internal standing space, and a secure gate mechanism to protect the diver during transit.
  • Man-Riding Winch: Equipped with a dedicated, high-safety-factor hydraulic winch designed specifically for personnel lifting.
  • Integrated Controls: Features a deck-mounted hydraulic control station, allowing the operator precise control over the A-frame movement and winch speed.
  • Safety Backup: Includes secondary brake systems and emergency stop functions (standard in LARS designs).
Applications
Common usage scenarios
  • Inshore & Offshore Diving: Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance (IRM) of subsea structures.
  • Vessel-Based Operations: Ideal for smaller support vessels where deck space is premium.
  • Emergency Recovery: Rapid extraction of injured divers from the water.
  • Civil Engineering: Underwater construction support in ports and dams.
