Side launching davit engineering
A side launching davit swings the boat outboard over the ship’s side and lowers it from there.

What we engineer on a side launching davit
Take the whole machine or single work packages.
Davit arms and frame
Arms, frame and pivots, checked through the full outboard movement.
Winch and brake
Hoisting winch, brake and the lowering arrangement for a controlled descent.
Boat stowage and release
Cradle, lashings and the interface with the boat’s hooks.
Load cases and test loads
Launching and recovery with heel and trim as the rule set you name defines them, and the arrangement for the proof load test.
Strength, buckling and fatigue
Hand calculation and finite element analysis of the structure, pins and connections, with assumptions and results written so a surveyor can follow them.
Foundation and interface
Bolting or welding to the deck, the loads passed into the ship structure and the interface drawing your yard needs.
What you receive
A package your purchasing, production and certification people can work from.
If you need the davit built as well
Most clients want engineering only. Some want one party responsible until the machine is on the truck. You choose how far we go.
Engineering only
You receive the complete design package and build it in your own works or with your own suppliers.
Engineering with production follow-up
We stay on the project while it is built: supplier questions, drawing revisions, inspection of critical welds and dimensions, factory acceptance test.
Engineering and manufacturing
We have the equipment fabricated, assembled and tested by qualified workshops to our drawings and under our technical supervision, and deliver it to you with its documentation.
More equipment in this group
The same engineering scope is available for the neighbouring machines.
