Marine A-type Launch and Recovery System for rescue craft with a capacity of up to 25 persons
Izhora Hydrosystems LLC presents a marine A-type Launch and Recovery System (LARS) of A-frame configuration, equipped with hydraulic and electrical systems. The system is designed for the launching and recovery from water of a non-high-speed rescue boat with crew or a life-saving craft with a capacity of up to 25 persons, with a total launching load not exceeding 30 kN.
The A-type LARS is a Russian-manufactured equivalent of the Palfinger PRH-AP A-type Launch and Recovery System, developed as part of an import substitution program.
The system was engineered for installation on an ice-class multifunctional rescue vessel operated by EMERCOM of Russia and complies with the following regulations and standards:
Although originally developed for installation on an ice-class multifunctional rescue vessel for EMERCOM, the A-type Launch and Recovery System is also suitable for commercial vessels, naval ships, and other floating units. Izhora Hydrosystems LLC is ready to adapt and modify the design to meet the specific structural or operational requirements of the customer’s vessel or ship.
The A-type Launch and Recovery System (LARS) manufactured by Izhora Hydrosystems provides a significantly higher recovery speed compared to the reference Palfinger PRH-AP model:
48 m/min versus 18 m/min when recovering the craft from the water.
In addition, the Russian-manufactured A-type LARS offers the following advantages:
According to the design scope, the A-type Launch and Recovery System (LARS) is supplied with the following components:
As optional equipment, the system may be fitted with a Constant Tension (CT) system and a Wave Crest Pick-up function, as well as an anti-sway (anti-pendulum) device for minimizing load oscillations during overboard launching of a lifeboat or workboat.
The A-type LARS is designed for installation on ice-class vessels. However, depending on the vessel operating area and class, Izhora Hydrosystems LLC adapts the design to comply with the requirements of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RMRS), the Russian River Register (RRR), and other applicable regulatory and supervisory authorities.

The order for an A-type Launch and Recovery System (LARS) was placed with Izhora Hydrosystems LLC by a company engaged in supply operations for the shipbuilding industry. Following the withdrawal of Palfinger from the Russian market, it became impossible to supply the PRH-AP A-type LARS specified for the vessel. The ice-class multifunctional rescue vessel project for EMERCOM, for which the system was required, had originally been designed around the overall dimensions and mounting interfaces of the imported unit. Therefore, a key requirement set for the engineers of Izhora Hydrosystems LLC was strict compliance with the original dimensional envelope and interface geometry.
As a result of the design and engineering work carried out by Izhora Hydrosystems LLC, the Russian-manufactured equivalent of the Palfinger PRH-AP A-type Launch and Recovery System fully matches the original unit in terms of installation dimensions and interfaces, while providing a significantly higher recovery speed of the craft from the water — 48 m/min compared to 18 m/min for the original PRH-AP model.
The A-type Launch and Recovery System (LARS) is approved for operation under the following conditions:
Throughout the entire service life, the A-type LARS shall be maintained in proper technical condition and in a state of full operational readiness in accordance with the recommendations specified in the Operation and Maintenance Manual developed by Izhora Hydrosystems LLC. When not in use, the A-type LARS shall remain in the stowed position.
When the LARS is in its initial stowed position, the following conditions shall be met:
Before operating the A-type Launch and Recovery System, all assemblies shall be visually inspected to confirm serviceability and to ensure that no foreign objects are present within the working area of moving parts that could obstruct operation. It shall also be verified that LARS operation will not create hazardous conditions or pose a risk to operating personnel. Following the external inspection, a full operational cycle of the LARS shall be performed. In addition, correct operation of the EMERGENCY STOP function and LARS operability in the absence of electrical power shall be verified.
During operational testing of the A-type LARS, the following parameters shall be monitored:
When using the A-type Launch and Recovery System (LARS) to launch a watercraft from the stowed position, the following steps shall be performed:
Recovery of the watercraft from the water and positioning on the A-type Launch and Recovery System shall be carried out as follows:
During launching, recovery, and securing of the watercraft in the stowed position, the requirements of the Operation and Maintenance Manuals of all equipment involved shall be strictly observed.
In the event of a malfunction, the system can be operated via manual overrides located directly on the hydraulic control valves of the hydraulic power unit (HPU). Operation of the A-type Launch and Recovery System in the absence of electrical power is performed using the manual pump installed on the Hydraulic Power Unit. In emergency situations, to stop the HPU, interlock LARS operation, and activate the winch brake, one of the EMERGENCY STOP push buttons located on the control cabinet shall be pressed.
Upon completion of operations, the A-type Launch and Recovery System shall be returned to the stowed position. A visual inspection shall then be carried out to verify the absence of mechanical damage, leaks, or seepage of hydraulic fluid.
The main frame of the A-type Launch and Recovery System (LARS) is a welded steel structure with flanges, serving as the primary load-bearing support for all mechanisms, including the winch. Together with these mechanisms, the frame rotates about a horizontal axis within the bearing arrangement of the subframe. The subframe is intended for mounting the mechanisms and securing the LARS to the vessel’s deck.
The welded boom assembly, designed to outboard the watercraft over the ship’s side, is bolted to the main frame via a flange connection. The boom is equipped with:
Two hydraulic cylinders, each fitted with integrated regulating valve blocks, are provided for outboarding the boom together with the watercraft and for raising it back into the stowed position.
The keel block (cradle) with its supporting elements is mounted to the subframe via a bearing unit and is intended for supporting the watercraft in the stowed position. Together with the tie rods (stays), it limits the maximum boom outboarding angle. The tie rods are turnbuckles with threaded eye ends.
The damper is a single-acting hydraulic cylinder, normally maintained with the rod extended, designed to absorb shock loads acting on the wire rope suspension and the structural elements of the LARS.
The winch is used for launching and recovering the duty/rescue boat and consists of:
Control of the winch hydraulic drive during hoisting is performed from the local control station. During gravity lowering, control is carried out either locally from the deck or remotely from the watercraft. The gravity lowering speed is regulated by the winch brake.
The handwheel for manual winch operation is a removable welded assembly. In the stowed position, it is stored on a bracket mounted on the hydraulic power unit. The bracket is equipped with a position sensor that interlocks the hydraulic drive, preventing activation during manual operation of the winch.
The A-type Launch and Recovery System includes a hydraulic piping installation kit for connecting the LARS hydraulic actuators to the hydraulic power unit, as well as a control wire rope installation kit for remote control of boom outboarding and watercraft lowering directly from the duty boat.
The hydraulic power unit (HPU), designed as a standalone assembly with an electric drive, serves as the source of hydraulic power for the LARS actuators. The HPU incorporates hydropneumatic accumulators, ensuring operation of the LARS in the event of electrical power loss.
An access ladder is provided for embarkation of crew or passengers into the watercraft.
Reliable operation of the A-type Launch and Recovery System (LARS), including all required stops, starts, and switching operations, is ensured across all operating modes specified in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
System reliability is highly dependent on the quality of the hydraulic fluid, including the presence of mechanical contaminants and water.
