    MILITARY DAVITS


    Welin Lambie and Fairbanks Morse Defense have the experience and expertise needed to meet the rigorous requirements for Military davit applications. The mission requirements for both combatant and non-combatant platforms in the service of their respective countries have all seen a dramatic increase in the need to launch and recover small boats in ever increasing support roles.

    All davits designed and manufactured by Welin Lambie are certified to military standards for Shock, EMI and Vibration, as well as operating under BS EN ISO 9001:2015.


    SINGLE POINT PIVOT RANGE

    PIV 3.0 / PIV 4.0

    The PIV 3.0 / PIV 4.0 davit is a fully self-contained “palletized” system. The safe working load of up to 4,000 kg (8,818 lbs) makes it ideal for the operation of RIBs in the 5.5 to 7.5M range.

    The PIV 3.0 / PIV 4.0 reduce the installation impact to either new builds or existing vessels. The davit has integrated power pack / accumulators that are factory installed with the complete electrical system.

    PIV 3.0 / PIV4.0

    Integrated into the davit, the boat stowage device can be configured for most hull forms. The performance of this davit can be enhanced with all electric / electronic falls tension, shock absorber and anti-pendulum RIB docking frame.


    ALL ELECTRIC RANGE

    PIV 3.6E

    The PIV 3.6 E is a custom application davit that provides a low weight system and incorporates both shock and EMI requirements. The aluminium A-frame construction incorporates many other weight saving attributes. Components have been selected to meet the high duty cycle of mission requirements and the weight sensitivity of the combatant ship design needs.

    Special Application

    FAO 10.0 A

    The FAO davit has been designed to be installed on Dock Landing and Amphibious Assault Vessels for the operation of RHIBs and other small boats. This is a fixed davit that stows the deployable assets over the side of the selected vessel. The davit system has independent falls tensioning and can be operated as a single or dual point davit and is fitted with shock absorbers and boat stowage system.

    This davit has completed EMI certification under MIL-SDT-461 E.
