Sailtec focuses on designing and producing hydraulic tension, rig control systems, and custom marine hydraulics. For over two decades, the company has served as a primary production source for leading sailboat brands, driven by cost-effective engineering, long-term durability, and a commitment to ongoing product support.

Manufacturing capabilities center on hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, hand pumps, and electric pumping systems operating up to 5,000 psi (350 bar) and capable of generating up to 100 tons of force. Beyond traditional rig tensioning, the product range covers specialized applications such as hydraulic controls for hatches, transom doors, swim platforms, keel lifting systems, and radar lifts.

Engineering choices emphasize performance and longevity through lightweight cylinder construction, enlarged piston rods to withstand side loads, redundant seal arrangements for leak prevention, and faster pumping speeds compared to industry standards.

Sailtec offers standard and custom cylinder configurations across a wide spectrum of strokes, fits, and functional requirements, supporting its product line through a worldwide sales and service network.
