The PAPH Series by Vestdavit is an advanced anti-pendulation davit system engineered to meet the demands of high stability, precision operations even in confined spaces.

This sophisticated series is equipped with an integrated docking head and a unique set of additional hinges, which collectively allow for a remarkable range of movement beyond that of standard davits. This extensive movement capacity makes the PAPH Series particularly well-suited for vessels with limited deck or structural space, where manoeuvrability is crucial. Vestdavit’s PAPH Series actively manages pendulation and collision control, enabling precise positioning of the deployed craft. This intelligent control system is particularly beneficial in rough sea conditions, where it safeguards both crew and vessel during launch and recovery operations by optimizing movement in real time. The PAPH Series reflects Vestdavit’s commitment to delivering innovative, space-efficient solutions without compromising on reliability, safety, or operational performance.
