LTX SERIES
Introducing the LTX waterjet. It is low-speed efficient, lightweight, and lean. With its large nozzle, lower input energy, lower jet velocity, and lightweight structure, it emulates its natural cousin. LTX is the first waterjet to rival the performance, energy efficiency and bollard pull of the very best propeller systems at low to medium speeds (0-30 knots).
This is a game-changer.
The climate is changing and so are the priorities of our customers. Operators want to reduce their impact on the environment and lower their energy costs, while also maximising efficiency. Some will achieve this by operating at lower speeds, while others are turning to electrification of the driveline rather than continue relying on fossil fuels.
Whether operators are seeking to optimise their entire enterprise or simply gain incremental benefits in manoeuvring, loitering, and transit, the efficiency of propulsion is key.
HIGH PERFORMANCE
The LTX series is supremely efficient in low to medium-speed applications from 0-30 knots. Its compact design means a jet with a larger diameter can be fitted in narrow hulls while lower-input power capability allows it to remain lightweight and run at a lower cost.
HIGH BOLLARD PULL PERFORMANCE
LTX jets deliver up to 40% more bollard pull and greater sway thrust than any other waterjets on the market. This best-in-class bollard pull improves manoeuvring response, position holding capability and vessel acceleration.
UNPARALLELED MANOEUVRABILITY
All HamiltonJet waterjets utilise low-loss steering systems which save fuel when course keeping and minimise speed loss during tighter turns. Low speed manoeuvring is also super-efficient due to the trust-vectoring capability of the steering and reverse system.
SAFETY AND SHALLOW WATER
Due to their design and inboard impeller, our jets can operate in shallow waters. This also makes them safe for swimmers and marine animals, such as whales.
Our products work as hard as the vessels they power.
CORROSION RESISTANT
Through careful material selection, refined anode layout and optimised coating systems, we have achieved up to 10x greater corrosion resistance in challenging brackish waters.
To improve service levels, we’ve extended the internal anode life to two years, which means work can be easily aligned with other scheduled maintenance.
LOW-WEAR STEERING
Across the range, LTX waterjets all feature new and improved steering systems. They deliver high precision, minimise performance loss in turns and deliver lower loads at the helm.
IMPROVED HYDRAULIC STEERING
Optimised seal pack design prevents contamination, damage from the marine environment and has been proven to last over millions of cycles. The fully integrated hydraulic system and its components have been designed to be inboard for maximum protection.
LTX features an ultra-compact inboard footprint, narrow jet-spacing, low- profile and lightweight design.
WATERJET INSTALLATION
The compact size of the entire LTX series means all models are capable of being installed late in the build, reducing overall vessel installation costs.
The fully integrated hydraulics and controls use space efficiently and ease incorporation into any platform.
POWERTRAIN COMPATIBILITY
HamiltonJet has considered electric
and hybrid drive from the outset. The
jets are compatible with all the major electric motor manufacturers. In addition, the LTX is compatible with a diverse range of diesel engines from global manufacturers. Our wide range
of impeller ratings allow optimal engine and gearbox selection, and in some cases direct-drive, to reduce drivetrain cost and complexity.
ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
LTX has been designed to pair with AVX, our advanced control system.
