The Vestdavit PLA series is a fully hydraulically operated, single point aluminium A-frame davit designed to provide efficient, reliable, and safe boat handling operations across a variety of maritime applications.

Also, the compact footprint of the A-frame design ensures efficient use of deck space, making it a suitable choice for both small and large vessels that require reliable launch and recovery systems without compromising valuable deck area. The PLA davit is constructed from high grade aluminium, making it lightweight yet highly durable. The use of aluminium significantly reduces the overall weight of the davit compared to traditional steel constructions, making it an ideal choice for weight sensitive vessels such as patrol boats, navy ships, and offshore support vessels. The PLA series is fully hydraulically operated, ensuring precise and controlled lifting, lowering, and launching of boats. This system provides consistent and smooth movements, reducing stress on both the davit and the vessel. The hydraulic mechanism allows for rapid deployment and recovery, which is crucial in emergency situations, military operations, and offshore activities where time is of the essence.
