Davits Crane

A davits crane built for boat operations, loading and unloading heavy materials quickly and positioning loads with precision. The load capacity runs from 2.5 tons to 20 tons, the slewing range is 360 degrees, and durable corrosion resistant materials are used for the marine environment. A wire rope hoist carries the load, radio and fixed push button control are both available, and a variable frequency drive optimises motor performance and power efficiency.

Specifications are configured per project. Send your drawing, capacity or duty requirement and the build will be confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Why It Works

Key Benefits

Corrosion resistant materials hold up in salt air where a general purpose crane would need early replacement

Anti sway technology and remote operation keep a swinging load under control over water

A capacity band of 2.5 tons to 20 tons covers both light deck handling and lifting a boat clear of the water

The variable frequency drive optimises motor performance which lowers the power drawn on each cycle

Low maintenance effort matters where a crane sits in an exposed location between jobs

Problems

Problems It Solves

General purpose cranes corrode quickly in a marine environment

Loads swing badly over water and are hard to land accurately

Operators standing close to a swinging load are exposed to risk

Frequent maintenance is difficult on equipment installed at a quayside

Comparison

How It Compares

Standard jib crane

A davits crane uses corrosion resistant materials for continuous marine exposure

Manual boat handling arrangements

Powered lifting with anti sway control places a boat accurately without a large deck crew

Fixed push button control

Radio control lets the operator stand clear of the load during the lift

FAQ

Davits Crane FAQ

What can a davits crane lift

The load capacity runs from 2.5 tons to 20 tons, which covers light deck handling through to lifting boats out of the water.

Is the crane suitable for salt water exposure

Yes. Durable corrosion resistant materials are used, which is why the crane suits boat operations and shipyards.

How is load swing controlled

Anti sway technology is fitted and remote operation options let the operator stay clear while the load is positioned.

What control methods are offered

Radio control and fixed push button control are both available and chosen from the operator position on the quay or deck.

Why is a variable frequency drive used

It optimises motor performance and power efficiency, which keeps lifting smooth and reduces the power drawn.

How is the lead time agreed

Lead time depends on capacity and control selection and is confirmed in writing with the quotation.
