New-Generation 23KN Single-Arm Slewing Boat/Raft Davit – Setting A New Benchmark for Safety And Reliability

The latest 23KN single-arm slewing boat/raft davit is now available. Designed and manufactured in strict compliance with the most stringent international safety regulations, this new 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 2006. 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 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 main power failure, the accumulator or manual pump ensures the davit can still be rotated to the operating position, eliminating the risk of power loss.

*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 emergency situations.

*Dual-Power Winch: The pump station is powered by a 4KW electric motor, and the rescue boat winch is equipped with 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 a multi-layered safety redundancy.

*Robust and Durable Construction: Maximum working load is 23KN, slewing load is 14KN, and working radius reaches 4000mm. The surface is sandblasted to Sa2.5 grade and coated with epoxy zinc-rich primer (2×50μm), offering excellent corrosion resistance.

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

An Unwavering Commitment to Excellence:

Deyuan Marine states: "The 23KN single-arm slewing davit is the embodiment of our commitment to maritime safety. Our goal is to deliver products that not only meet but exceed the stringent requirements of SOLAS and IMO. This davit is a testament to our dedication to providing the global shipping industry with reliable, durable, and easy-to-operate lifesaving equipment under any circumstances."

The new-generation 23KN single-arm slewing boat/raft davit is now available for order and is set to become the new benchmark for safety and efficiency on vessels worldwide.

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

Q1: What is the maximum 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 suitable for a 4.5-meter rescue boat (with a capacity of 6 persons), as well as davit-launched life rafts. It can also be used as a crane for lifting cargo upon client's request.

Q3: How does the boat/raft launch work?

A: The davit lowers the boat/raft to the water surface by its own gravity. Once the davit arm slews the boat outboard, the designated person on the boat pulls the remote control cable to release the boat, allowing it to descend by gravity.

Q4: What safety features does this davit have?

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

Q5: What certifications does this davit have?

A: The davit is certified by major classification societies including ABS, BV, CCS, DNV/GL, KR, NK, RINA, RMRS, and complies with ISO 9001 quality management standards.

Q6: Who can operate this davit?

A: This appliance shall only be operated by appropriately trained persons. Operators must be familiar with the operation manual and understand the structure and functions of the equipment before use.
