Vestdavit’s PLR-Type davit is a highly robust and reliable single point lifting solution, designed specifically for scenarios where dependability is crucial.

This compact and rugged construction davit type makes it particularly well suited for handling man-overboard (MOB) and fast rescue craft (FRC), providing reliable support even in high sea state or challenging weather conditions. One of the distinguishing features of the PLR-Type davit is its modular design, which simplifies both installation and maintenance. This modularity makes it adaptable across different vessels and reduces downtime, as the davit can be moved or exchanged between ships to meet shifting operational demands.
