Vanguarde Equipment
Hydraulic Davit
Roller-track hydraulic accumulator davit for lifeboats and rescue boats on space-constrained decks, offered in A-frame and gravity designs.
Description
Vanguarde's hydraulic davit system is manufactured and tested under the approval of major classification societies in compliance with the 1983 and 1996 Amendments to SOLAS 1974. It is a roller-track davit that lowers the boat onto the water by its own weight, with recovery by hydraulic winch (accumulator davit).
Key features
- Turning out and lowering in one continuous movement, so the boat can be lowered without stopping
- Lowering by remote control, or from inside the boat via a wire connection to the winch brake; the hand brake can also be operated on deck
- Boat lashings released manually by slip hooks fore and aft
- Suited to decks with space constraints
- Available in A-frame and gravity designs for all types of lifeboat and rescue boat
Applications
- Lifeboat and rescue boat launching on vessels with limited deck space
