For this innovative Motion-Compensated Pile Gripper we have challenged our suppliers to meet our functional requirements.

Jan Van De Velde, Head of Newbuilding Department: “It is our continued philosophy to focus on operational efficiency, with improving safety as the main objective. Both read and monitor the motorcycle’s battery and will shut off automatically at the set voltage levels to protect the battery from draining.With the construction of both Les Alizés and the Jack-Up Installation Vessel Voltaire well underway, Jan De Nul Group will shortly have the capability to not only install next-generation foundations, but also wind turbines (WTGs), safely and efficiently. HotGrips® Pro also have 2 Battery Saving Modes: a lead-acid mode and a lithium mode. When you return your hand to the grip, rather than needing to warm back up, it will be just as warm as it was before. If you need to remove one hand while riding for any reason, the automatic temperature control will counteract the effect of windchill by sending power immediately to the affected grip. Here’s an everyday example of how independently temperature-controlled grips will make your riding more comfortable… Once reached, the controller will only top up as and when required to maintain this set temperature, making the grips easier to use and more energy efficient. Whatever temperature is chosen, the controller will supply maximum power until each grip has reached this temperature.

On a more technical level, the intelligent controller will independently measure and control the temperature of each grip using inbuilt thermistors to maintain the desired temperature setting. The LED will automatically dim to reduce distraction when riding at night. To select a heat setting, simply press the button repeatedly until the LED displays the colour which corresponds to your choice: Red = 45˚C White = 40 ˚C Blue = 35˚C. Moreover, there is also no separate switchgear to find space for and install, because each grip houses its own internal temperature control unit, operated by a power/temperature button with an LED light on the clutch-side grip.

On a very practical level, these are our first fully silicone grips this incredible material increases their lifespan by up to 200% without compromising comfort or performance, as well as reducing cable strain and increasing grip levels. The latest evolution of Oxford’s vast HotGrips® range is a fully integrated heated grip, which comes in 3 brand new grip patterns.
