The latest 23KN single-arm slewing boat/raft davit is now officially available. Designed and manufactured in strict compliance with the most stringent international safety regulations, this advanced model delivers a quantum leap in the launching performance of rescue boats and liferafts, providing solid protection for crew safety even in extreme sea conditions.

Engineered for Ultimate Safety and Compliance

The all-new 23KN davit is built and tested in full accordance with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, including all amendments up to date. It fully complies with the rigorous test procedures set forth in IMO MSC.81(70) and MSC.226(82), ensuring the highest level of operational reliability for every unit in emergency situations. The equipment has successfully obtained type approval certificates from major international classification societies, including CCS, RINA, MED, and EC, offering shipowners and operators unequivocal confidence in quality and compliance.

Core Features and Superior Performance

The 23KN single-arm slewing boat/raft davit is equipped with a comprehensive range of advanced features designed to simplify operation and enhance safety:

• Gravity-Based Launching: Utilizes the boat's own weight for controlled and reliable launching, with a design lowering speed of 40–60 m/min for smooth and efficient deployment.

• Powerful Hydraulic Slewing System: Fitted with a high-capacity hydraulic slewing system for smooth and stable rotation. Even in the event of a main power failure, the accumulator or manual pump ensures the davit can still be rotated to the operating position, eliminating power-loss risks.

• Dual-Mode Control: Supports remote control launching from inside the rescue boat as well as local operation on the deck side, offering maximum flexibility in critical emergency situations.

• Dual-Power Winch System: The hydraulic pump station is powered by a 4KW electric motor, while the rescue boat winch is driven by a 6.3KW hoist motor, providing a hoisting speed of no less than 18 m/min. A one-way brake and an automatic centrifugal speed-limiting clutch form multi-layered safety redundancy.

• Robust and Durable Construction: Features a maximum safe working load (SWL) of 23KN, a slewing load of 14KN, and a working radius reaching 4,000 mm. The surface is sandblasted to Sa2.5 grade and coated with epoxy zinc-rich primer (2 times 50mu m), offering exceptional corrosion resistance in marine environments.

The standard scope of supply includes the complete davit unit, an IP56-rated control box, a push-button station, limit switches, and a full set of technical documentation (including product certificates and operation manuals).

23KN Single-Arm Slewing Boat/Raft Davit – FAQ

Q1: What is the maximum safe working load of this davit?

A: The maximum safe working load (SWL) is 23KN (approximately 2.3 tons).

Q2: What types of boats or rafts is this davit suitable for?

A: It is custom-engineered for a 4.5-meter rescue boat (with a capacity of 6 persons) as well as standard davit-launched life rafts. It can also be configured to function as a cargo-lifting crane upon client request.

Q3: How does the boat/raft launching mechanism work?

A: The davit lowers the craft to the water surface via gravity. Once the davit arm slews the boat outboard, the operator inside the rescue boat pulls the remote control cable to release the boat, allowing a controlled descent.

Q4: What primary safety features are integrated into this davit?

A: It is equipped with a dual braking system, overload protection, an emergency manual release device, and limit switches, fully meeting SOLAS 1974, LSA Code, and IMO MSC.81(70) requirements.

Q5: What international certifications does the davit hold?

A: The unit is certified by major classification societies including ABS, BV, CCS, DNV/GL, KR, NK, RINA, and RMRS, while adhering strictly to ISO 9001 quality management standards.

Q6: Who is authorized to operate this davit system?

A: This appliance shall only be operated by appropriately trained personnel. Operators must thoroughly review the operation manual and understand the structure and functions of the equipment prior to use.
