The PLD Series by Vestdavit is a versatile, modular davit system engineered for optimized performance. The larger PLD davits are popular for CSOVs and similar for crew transfer boats. The smaller PLD's are suitable for all types of boats.

As a three-axis compensated docking head davit, the PLD is specially designed to ensure operational stability and safety even in high-sea conditions, where precision and reliable manoeuvrability are crucial. The PLD Series features advanced motion compensation across three axes pitch, roll, and heave which significantly improves the control of launch and recovery, minimizing risks and enhancing operational windows in challenging maritime environments. Engineered for both durability and ease of maintenance, the PLD Series meets the high standards demanded by navies, coast guards, and commercial operators alike, who require robust, adaptable, and easily serviceable davit systems.
