SB Rescue MOB Davit - Coach Roof, Bulk Head or Deck Mounted Horizontal Davit

The SB Rescue Davit is a telescopic, manually operated davit that may be used in conjunction with the SB Rescue Sling man overboard system. The davit enables a fast, effective and efficient man overboard recovery and overcomes the problems of freeboard, rescuer fatigue, lack of crew numbers and the difficulties encountered in recovering a dead weight from the water.

The SB Telescopic Davit is designed for rescue and recovery applications where a compact, horizontal davit arrangement is required onboard a vessel. It can be mounted to a coach roof, bulkhead or deck and positioned to provide the reach needed to recover a person or rescue equipment over the vessel's side.

For man overboard and other recovery or lifting applications, the SB Davit provides a secure lifting point for controlled recovery from the water. The telescopic boom can extend beyond the vessel's side, helping to position the lifting point over the recovery area while keeping the mounting arrangement compact when not in use. This makes the SB Davit suitable for vessels where available deck space is limited or where a conventional vertical davit arrangement is not practical.

When mounted horizontally to a suitable bulkhead or deck, the telescopic boom provides extended working reach while remaining compact when retracted. This makes the SB Davit a good choice for suitably sized vessels where a permanently installed lifting point is required without the footprint of a classic fixed davit.

When selecting the appropriate configuration, consideration should be given to the distance from the davit location to the vessel's side, available mounting width, height from the working deck to the davit location, and vertical distance from the mounting position to the waterline. These measurements help determine the appropriate davit configuration for the intended installation and working position.

The mounting arrangement should be selected according to the stability of the vessle. The davits' ntended load, working position and supporting structure. Contact I.C. Brindle for assistance in selecting the appropriate SB Telescopic Davit configuration for your application.
