DAVIT SYSTEMS Ship Davits
HARDING NPD, NPDL AND NPDT SERIES The Harding NPD series pivoting davits are specifically designed for the safe and efficient launching and retrieval of lifeboats. All equipment is integrated inside the davit structure, which leads to very easy installation. The davits are intended for long-term, reliable operation in harsh and hazardous marine and offshore environments. The Harding NPDL series has been developed to be an alternative on vessels with limited space capacities. Its narrow design is ideal where width of deck is limited. Even though we have reduced the outer dimensions, all vulnerable equipment is protected inside the davit structure. The davits are intended for long-term, reliable operation in harsh and hazardous marine and offshore environments. The NPD and NPDL davit system is designed in accordance with the latest IMO/SOLAS requirements, LSA Code and European Council Directive 96/98 for Marine Equipment (MED). Its carefully considered and epoch-making design is an advantage when it comes to maintenance and service, installation and deck preparations, and also for heating in Arctic climates.
Harding NPD and NPDT are designed for easy installation on board vessels. NPDT requires even less space in width of deck area, than the standard version, NPD.
The lifeboat is launched either from inside the boat, or using the remote control unit supplied as standard. Recovery of the lifeboat is performed by an electric/hydraulic winch.
Optional equipment NPD/NPDL/NPDT: Different painting solutions, Radio control, EX-proof, High speed winch, Aluminium hinges, Skid, Heating system.
