Palfinger Marine Gravity SWL-18t-B

Palfinger Marine Palfinger Marine Gravity SWL-18t-B — Davits. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Gravity Davit, and it is normally installed at a designated lifeboat, rescue-boat or life-raft launching station, structurally attached to the vessel. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to support, lower and where applicable recover the assigned survival craft. Gravity, freefall-support, liferaft and rescue-boat davits differ in geometry and operating sequence, so model-specific launching and recovery procedures must follow the approved appliance documentation. Within the supplied list, neighbouring variants are distinguished by their model designations and naming, while the source does not state further model-specific hardware differences. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
