Gravity Rolling Type Davit – Reliable Gravity-Driven Launch System for Lifeboats and Rescue Boats

The Gravity Rolling Type Davit from CMEC FJCN is a proven, gravity-driven launching system designed to enable the fast and safe deployment of lifeboats and rescue boats. Built for marine environments, this davit utilizes a rolling track mechanism mounted along the deck edge to move the boat from its stowed position into the launch-ready location with smooth, gravity-aided motion.

Commonly used aboard cargo ships, tankers, offshore platforms, and oil rigs, the Gravity Rolling Type Davit is favored for its simple structure, reliability, and low maintenance requirements. It provides a straightforward solution to emergency evacuation, especially in situations where power loss may occur, by relying on gravity rather than motorized deployment systems.

The system is compatible with Totally Enclosed Lifeboats, Partially Enclosed Lifeboats, and Rescue Boats, offering an economical and compliant solution for vessel operators seeking performance and safety in one compact unit.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Gravity-powered rolling track – ensures dependable, power-free deployment

• Compact and efficient design – saves space while maintaining functionality

• Manual or hydraulic winch recovery system – easy boat retrieval

• Robust steel construction – with anti-corrosion marine coatings

• Self-activated brake mechanism – for controlled descent and safety

• Shock absorbers and safety locks – protect the boat and crew

• Certified to SOLAS, IMO, and LSA Code standards

This davit is constructed with durable guide rails, roller carriages, strong suspension arms, and a gravity winch system, allowing the boat to roll from the parked position to the outboard launching point. Once in position, the boat is lowered using a gravity-controlled winch, ensuring a safe and steady descent into the water.
