The ST200 system is able to achieve smooth speeds of less than 35 meters per hour for burial operations. During tracked mode survey operations, the vehicle is capable of a top speed reaching 2.2 kilometers per hour. The Triton ST200 is powered by dual 100 SHP hydraulic power units. The hydraulic system operates three auxiliary solenoid valve packs, two proportional valve packs for thruster control, and one nine-station proportional manifold. The hydraulic system is comprised of two main thruster circuits that can be isolated in the event of component failure, allowing the operator to continue a job without immediately returning to the surface and preventing loss of hydraulic fluid before recovery.
Hydraulic compensation is provided by positive pressure compensators.
Electrical junction boxes and manifolds are compensated on a separate circuit from the main hydraulic system. In the event the vehicle loses main hydraulics, the electrical system will maintain integrity. Each individual 100 hp motor is also compensated. The ST200 features three pan and tilt units with color zoom cameras. One is installed directly above the jetting tool, the other two above each manipulator.
