Hydraulic Gravity Type Davit – Safe, Efficient Lifeboat Launching System by CMEC FJCN

The Hydraulic Gravity Type Davit by CMEC FJCN is a precision-engineered marine launching system designed to lower lifeboats and rescue boats swiftly and safely in emergency or routine situations. It combines the force of gravity with controlled hydraulic braking to ensure a smooth, safe, and reliable deployment that meets SOLAS, IMO, and LSA Code requirements.

This davit system is ideal for Totally Enclosed Lifeboats, Partially Enclosed Lifeboats, Rescue Boats, and Fast Rescue Boats, offering versatility across various vessel types including cargo ships, tankers, offshore platforms, and cruise liners. Its gravity-powered motion ensures operation even during total power failure, while the hydraulic damping mechanism provides regulated descent speed for maximum crew safety.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Gravity-assisted launch with fail-safe operation

• Hydraulic cylinder braking system ensures soft landing and speed control

• Slewing arm or pivot frame structure for space efficiency and easy stowage

• Manual and automatic release mechanisms

• Compact footprint with heavy-duty steel frame

• Anti-corrosion surface treatment with marine-grade coatings

• Integrated winch and wire rope drum for hoisting and recovery

• Compatible with single-point and twin-point suspension lifeboats

This davit system is built for high reliability and minimal maintenance, making it suitable for continuous use in demanding marine environments. The hydraulic damping system is self-contained, ensuring smooth operation without external power during emergencies. Manual operation mode is available for backup, ensuring compliance with the “Safe Return to Port” regulations.

Technical Specifications:

• Working Load Capacity: 15–35 kN (customized per boat size)

• Lowering Speed: 0.3–1.0 m/s adjustable with load

• Slewing Range: Up to 90 degrees for side and outboard deployment

• Material: Marine-grade carbon steel or stainless steel (optional)

• Surface Coating: Epoxy primer + polyurethane marine topcoat

• Certifications: CCS, DNV, ABS, BV, LR, NK

The Hydraulic Gravity Davit is equipped with emergency release handle, hydraulic oil reservoir, hand pump, and shock-absorbing supports, enabling easy recovery of the lifeboat after drills or rescues. CMEC FJCN’s design prioritizes durability, safety, and user-friendly handling during both training and real-life deployment.

Installation, commissioning, and operation training are available globally through CMEC FJCN’s certified technical team. Full spare parts and maintenance kits are also available to ensure long-term serviceability.
