Telescopic Davits

Vestdavit’s TDB-Type davits are highly specialized deck head mounted davit systems, engineered for seamless launch and recovery operations from a recess or boat bay. These davits offer exceptional versatility with a Maximum Working Load (MWL) ranging from 3.600 kg to 25.000 kg, making them suitable for a wide range of vessel applications, from naval ships to offshore support vessels. These systems are built to comply with strict naval and classification society requirements, ensuring safety, durability, and operational efficiency in demanding environments. 

DUAL TDB SERIES DAVIT

The Vestdavit Dual TDB Series represents the pinnacle of modern heavy lift davit technology, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of naval, coast guard, offshore, and commercial maritime operations. This cutting-edge system is designed for handling exceptionally large payloads, ensuring safe and efficient launch and recovery of heavy workboats, unmanned surface vessels (USVs), and mission-critical craft in dynamic maritime environments. The system’s capability to link two TDB-series davits through an advanced Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) provides a high degree of operational control and load distribution, allowing for a Safe Working Load (SWL) of up to 50 tons. This synchronized operation enhances stability, efficiency, and safety, making it one of the most powerful davit solutions available.

A key feature of the Dual TDB Series is its PLC-driven intelligent control system, which enables seamless synchronization between two davits. The PLC ensures precise load balancing, coordinated movement, and automated control, reducing the risk of operational errors and improving overall safety. This level of automation is particularly critical when handling large and delicate payloads, where precision is essential to prevent damage and ensure smooth deployment and retrieval. The system is designed to operate reliably in high-sea states, providing consistent performance in harsh and unpredictable maritime conditions. By minimizing manual intervention, the Dual TDB Series allows for streamlined operations, significantly reducing crew workload and enhancing overall efficiency.
