A motor davit crane is driven by an electric motor or with an electric winch to provide power for lifting and landing the boom and rotating it to transfer goods, load, and unload.
The crane's fixed arm design allows the motor davit crane to handle materials stably and safely in unstable offshore wind environments. The Davit Crane's substantial lifting capacity and compact volume also enable it to cope easily with material handling tasks in harsh marine environments.
In addition, YFM motor davit crane's simple structure makes it convenient to maintain, low-cost, and long-lasting.
Products Detail
Structural Components of the Motor Davit Crane
The fixed arm of the Motor Davit Crane is typically composed of the following key components, which work together to achieve stable lifting and handling:
1. Main Boom
- Low-alloy high-strength steel
- The crane's arm length is designed according to actual needs, and the end is equipped with a hook
2. Support and Connection System
- Connected to the ship's deck by bolts or welding.
- Slewing Mechanism: Some Motor Davit cranes have a horizontal slewing device (such as a slewing bearing), allowing the boom to rotate within a specific angle range (e.g., ±180°) to expand the operating range. Still, the boom itself does not have a pitching function.
3. Power Transmission Components
- Electric Winch/Hoist: Installed at the root of the boom or near the base, connected to the hook via a steel wire rope to provide vertical lifting power.
Cables and Control System: Built-in power and signal cables connect the motor to the control system, enabling remote control or automated operation.

Advantages of YFM motor Davit Crane's Boom
1. Priority on Stability
- In dynamic environments such as ship swaying and wave impacts, the rigid structure of the Motor Davit Crane's fixed arm can effectively suppress vibrations, avoiding collision or unhooking risks of lifted items (such as lifeboats) due to shaking. This is particularly suitable for emergency rescue scenarios (e.g., rapid lowering of lifeboats).
2. High Space Efficiency
- The boom does not require pitching or telescoping. It occupies minimal deck space, making the motor davit crane suitable for small and medium-sized vessels or platforms with compact deck layouts.
- The fixed installation reduces the need to store movable components, allowing the motor davit cranes to remain in a standby state for long periods and improving emergency response speed.
3. Strong Environmental Adaptability
- Suitable for marine corrosion environments with high salt fog and humidity. The service life of the YFM motor davit crane is extended through surface anti-corrosion treatments (such as hot-dip galvanizing and epoxy coating) and material corrosion resistance optimization.
- In ice zones or harsh sea conditions, the reliability of the fixed arm is superior to boom types relying on hydraulic or complex mechanical drives.
Typical Application Scenarios
1. Marine Life-saving Systems
- As a lifeboat davit crane, the fixed arm can quickly lower and recover lifeboats and liferafts, meeting safety regulations such as the SOLAS Convention. It is particularly suitable for passenger, cargo, and offshore operation platforms.
2. Offshore Material Handling
- In scenarios such as oil platforms and offshore wind installation vessels, the motor davit crane is used to lift equipment components, tools, or small containers. It achieves precise loading and unloading with ship positioning systems (e.g., DP dynamic positioning).
3. Special Operation Support
- The motor davit crane is used for carrying underwater equipment (such as ROV remotely operated vehicles) or fire-fighting equipment; the fixed arm's stable characteristics ensure that the equipment maintains a controllable posture during lowering.
