Liferaft Slewing Davits

Liferaft Slewing Davits are crucial for maritime safety, making it easier to handle emergencies on ships and offshore platforms. These davits have a rotating feature that helps move the liferaft into position for launching quickly and smoothly, even in tough conditions.

Equipped with a Slewing Davit, liferafts are stored securely and are easy to reach, providing a reliable way to evacuate people in an emergency. The gravity-assisted system makes it simple and fast to lower the liferaft into the water, so everyone can get off the ship quickly and safely.
