Torque Bucket

Bespoke subsea polymer solutions, designed to enhance performance and impact real change.

What is a Torque Bucket?

The ROV Torque Bucket is a robust, bespoke solution deployed in subsea operations to facilitate the controlled application of torque by a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Designed to industry-standard specifications (typically ISO 13628-8 / API 17H), the torque bucket ensures safe, repeatable engagement with various subsea tools and valves in subsea operations. Engineered for durability in harsh marine environments, it plays a critical role in enabling efficient maintenance, installation, and intervention tasks across oil and gas, renewable, and offshore infrastructure sectors.

Why Choose Polymer ROV Torque Buckets?

Polymer ROV torque buckets offer a range of advantages over traditional metallic alternatives, making them an ideal choice for demanding subsea applications:

Corrosion Resistance Engineered polymers are inherently resistant to seawater, chemicals, and marine growth, eliminating the risk of rust and reducing long-term maintenance.  
Weight Reduction Significantly lighter than metal, polymer torque buckets reduce ROV load requirements, improving handling, deployment efficiency, and fuel consumption for launch and recovery systems.  
Non-Conductive Properties The non-metallic construction offers enhanced safety in electrically sensitive subsea environments.  
Enhanced Design Flexibility Polymers allow for complex geometries and integrated features, allowing for tailored project requirements.  
Improved Safety and Handling Lower weight and smooth surfaces reduce manual handling risks topside and make underwater engagement smoother for ROV manipulators.  
Cost-Effective Durability High-performance engineering polymers provide long service life with excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, and environmental degradation — often delivering better lifecycle value than coated metal parts.  

Application uses in Industry

Examples of Wear Pads in use:

  • Support allows thermal expansion and contraction while protecting painted surfaces.
  • Crane booms sliding pads reducing wear on the boom structure.
  • Bridge bearings accommodating movement and reducing wear.
  • Conveyor systems that guide and support moving parts with minimal wear.

Industry technology that makes use of Wear Pads includes: 

  • Telehandler 
  • Mobile Cranes 
  • Backhoe Loader
  • Aerial Work Platforms 
  • Straddle Carriers
  • Forklift
