Key Advantages

Built for Medium-Class Workboat Propulsion

Engineered for harbor tugs, OSVs, and medium commercial vessels, the WAF/LAF 665 – 1973 range delivers proven reliability and high torque density backed by over 80 years of REINTJES marine gearbox experience.

High Operating Reliability

Built-in hydraulically operated disc clutches with steel/sinter friction surfaces ensure dependable performance under continuous heavy-duty operation.

Robust Rigid Mounting

Standard rigid mounting across the range ensures stable, vibration-resistant operation in the most demanding commercial duty cycles.

Vertical & Horizontal Offset

Multiple offset configurations provide flexibility for varied engine room layouts and propeller shaft arrangements.

Low Operating Noise

Helical spur gears, case-hardened and tooth-flank ground with precision, deliver smooth, quiet operation across the full power range.
