Rescue Boat Davit
YUKSEL MACHINE manual slewing davits have been designed to obtain maximum performance for long time operation under adverse and extreme conditions in a highly corrosive marine environment.
We are  producing two types of rescue boat davits:

1 Manual single arm
The single arm slewing davit is a freestanding deck-mounted davit consisting of a davit
arm, column (fixed or rotating) and electric rescue boat winch. In cases where manual
slewing is not allowed by the flag state, a hydraulic slewing davit from the hydraulic series
can be used as an alternative. 

2 Hydraulic single arm
The hydraulic single-arm slewing davit is a freestanding deck-mounted davit consisting of
a davit arm, column (fixed or rotating) and electric rescue boat winch. Slewing out the fully
manned rescue boat from its stowed position into launch position is done by means of
the accumulated power obtained from a self-contained hydraulic power pack unit.

Free Fall Davit
A deck-to-wall mounted davit placed at the stern of the ship, and
consisting of a launch ramp, davit arm (A-frame), winch and hydraulic unit.
The launch ramp has sliding pads for smooth acceleration of the boat.
In situations where free-fall launch is impractical or unsafe, the system has
a secondary means of launching the lifeboat. Recovery of the lifeboat with
the hydraulic driven winch is available.
