The Lever is a mechanical device or tool used to apply force or activate mechanical and hydraulic processes.
In the maritime sector, levers are critical components in navigation, control, and vessel operation, playing a vital role in the accuracy, performance, and safety of onboard systems.
Propulsion control – Adjusting engine power for acceleration, deceleration, or steady operation.
Navigation and steering – Operating rudder systems or other directional control mechanisms.
Activation of mechanical systems – Controlling cranes, ramps, or cargo handling equipment.
Hydraulic control – Managing valves, pumps, and hydraulic circuits through mechanical motion.
Thanks to their simplicity, reliability, and durability, levers are an integral part of marine applications, providing operators with precise and direct control over critical vessel functions.
