TENSIONERS
GLOBAL FLEET OF TENSIONERS up to 65Te WLL
A specialist supplier with F4OR granted status recognition, Motive have industry-leading expertise in cable handling and deployment equipment.
Choose from a range of 2 and 4-track, horizontal and vertical Tensioners, hydraulically powered, with options up to 65Te WLL.
With a handling capacity of product up to 500mm diameter, we can also custom-build to suit project specification.

REEL DRIVE SYSTEMS
Our Reel Drive Systems have been designed with multiple reel installations on multipurpose vessels in mind, however, can also be used for deploying one reel at a time.
All functions are hydraulically powered, and large line pulls can be achieved due to the heavy-duty drive units. Our systems are modular and easily road transported, without the need for escort - designed for safe, rapid mobilisation that saves time on the quayside.

TRACK SYSTEMS
A Multi-Reel Drive System is delivered via multiple tracks laid on deck to facilitate multiple reels of varying diameters, helping reduce transit and craneage costs with all required reels loaded onto the vessel at the outset.

HORIZONTAL LAY SYSTEMS
Our Horizontal Lay Systems ensure product can be smoothly and safely handled in a vertical plane, used in conjunction with secure work platforms to allow the safe installation or removal of all product jewellery.
Paired with one of our 20-50Te Tensioners these systems are ideal for the safe installation or removal of extended lengths of product.
Modular for rapid, cost-effective mobilisation, and fully compliant with LOLER and PUWER requirements.

BOW CABLE ENGINES
Designed for laying or retrieving flexible product, and lifting/lowering equipment safely, Motive Bow Cable Engines allow controlled handling of flexible pipe, umbilical and cable from 20mm to 325mm diameter.
Comprising an integrated HPU and two quadrants, the BCE is modular for easier transport. Control and monitoring is via a remote belly box and panel display, showing product distance, line tension, line speed and grip pressure.

LINEAR CABLE ENGINES
Horizontal Linear Cable Engines available up to 5Te line pull, suitable for handling flexible pipe, umbilicals, cables and steel pipe from 20mm to 325mm diameter.
Featuring an integrated electric HPU, LCEs can be operated locally from manually controlled valves, although the primary control and instrumentation is provided on a remote-control station.

HYDRAULIC DRUM WINCHES
GLOBAL FLEET OF WINCHES FROM 7.5Te - 350Te WLL
Motive Drum Winches are used across multiple sectors, for lifting, mooring, anchoring, pull-ins, and A&R. Choose from a range of standardised winches, or we can custom-build to suit specific project requirements. All Motive winches have constant tension functionality and can be derated to meet specific project requirements.
High-capacity winches are available up to 350Te WLL and can be supplied fitted with extras such as Active Heave Compensation, or Smart Winch Technology to gather valuable data analytics such as drum rotations, layer and wrap counts, and wire remaining on the reel.

WINCH CONTROL SYSTEMS
Enabling multiple winches to be operated in synchronisation, Winch Control Systems provide monitoring and recording functions via a single PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), accessible remotely for data collection or troubleshooting.
Our custom-built DNV rated Control Cabins are fitted with a control panel, large remote screen and CCTV, with air conditioning/heating and wide-angle windows on all sides, for the enhanced safety and comfort of Operators.

ACTIVE HEAVE COMPENSATION
Active Heave Compensation (AHC) Winch Packages are available from Motive bases across the UK, and in Stavanger, Norway, for deployment on a global basis.
Motive can supply Active Heave Compensation with any equipment designed to lift and deploy loads subsea, covering applications such as cable lay, retrieval and maintenance, oil and gas or decommissioning operations deploying and retrieving subsea equipment, or the installation of pipelines and other subsea structures.
An AHC Lifting System counteracts the vertical motion of a vessel caused by waves and sea swell. For example, by dynamically adjusting a winch drum’s position it can maintain a steady load position in rougher sea conditions allowing precise handling of subsea equipment.
Utilising Scantrol’s proven technology, Motive installs and tests the software using Dynatest with simulated vessel motion and speed test functionality. This ensures minimal set-up once equipment reaches the back deck, with no need for live testing in rough conditions. All systems come complete with remote support functionality for added confidence.

SPOOLING WINCHES
Range of back-tension Spooling Winches from 6Te - 350Te WLL
Motive Spooling Winches come with interchangeable shafts and adjustable pedestals to suit various reel sizes. Unlike a drum winch, the rating of a spooling winch is based on its payload capacity.
All spooling winches can be provided with constant tension functions and are fully tested in-house prior to delivery.

TRACTION WINCHES
15Te and 50Te WLL Hydraulic Traction Winch options, ideal for spooling, tensioning, or holdback applications requiring a controlled pull on heavy loads.
Perfect for substantial wire installations, the traction winch delivers bi-directional constant tension and comes complete with a fitted adjustable guide, control station, and HPU Package.
