TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The PALFINGER MARINE hydraulic pivoting A-frame davits have been designed for long time operation
under adverse and extreme conditions in a highly corrosive marine environment.
The hydraulic pivoting davits of the PRHE series are so-called “plug-in and play units” all guaranteeing easy
installation on board.

The PRHE davit is a freestanding deck mounted davit consisting of a base frame, davit arm, cylinders, winch
and hydraulic power pack unit.
The system is suitable for safe and efficient launching and recovery of a fully manned rescue boat against
unfavourable conditions of trim of up to 10 degrees and a list of up to 20 degrees either way.

Pivoting out the fully manned rescue boat from its stowed position into launch position is realised by means of
accumulated power obtained from a self-containing hydraulic power pack unit. The pivoting motion is actuated
from within the rescue boat by means of a remote control pull wire.

Lowering is realised by means of gravity. The lowering motion can be controlled in two ways, either by means
of a remote control pull wire from within the rescue boat or by lifting the brake handle of the winch directly.

Recovery of the rescue boat with its crew is realised by using the electric driven winch.
In case of a power failure or malfunctioning of the electric system, hoisting is done manually by mean of crank
handle of the winch (emergency hoisting).

Since the safe working load and outreach of the davit are normally determined by the size of the rescue boat,
PALFINGER MARINE have chosen for a limited range of standard designs which can be adapted to some
extent in order to meet individual and specific needs.

The PRHE series meets the latest IMO/SOLAS requirements and LSA Code as well as the European Council
Directive 96/98 EC on Marine Equipment (M.E.D.).

2. BASE FRAME
The base frame is a welded steel construction, built up from profiles and steel plates to a stiff rigid frame in
order to transfer the system forces to the deck structure.
Each frame is provided with all necessary provisions for fastening of relevant accessories such as hydraulic
cylinders, power pack unit and starter box.

3. DAVIT ARM
The davit arm is built up of hollow sections and steel plates and provided with all necessary provisions for
fastening of relevant accessories such as hydraulic cylinders, winch foundation, sheaves and remote control
parts.
For transportation reasons, the davit arm consists of a base part and an upper part which are easily built
together by means of a hinge/flange connection.
The davit arm does also incorporate the boat chocks with D-fenders and boat lashings.

4. WINCH
The davit will be supplied with an electric driven winch built onto the base frame.

The winch is a standard item and consists of the following main components:
 Closed gear casing;
 Built-on electric motor;
 Single winch drum with separate section for remote control wire;
 Speed reducer gear (conventional gear train);
 Centrifugal brake unit for gravity lowering;
 Stop brake of the “dead-man” type;
 Manual cranking gear with safety device.

5. HYDRAULIC POWER PACK UNIT (HPU)

The hydraulic power pack unit consists of the following main components:

 Stainless steel hydraulic tank (AISI 316) with drain valve;

 Hydraulic pump;
 Electric motor;
 Pressure switches;
 Pressure relief valve;
 Control valve;
 Accumulator

6. HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS
Each davit will be supplied with two high quality double acting hydraulic cylinders provided with dual over-
centre valves. The cylinder rods are made of stainless steel (14057).

7. ACCESSORIES
Each davit system will be supplied with the following accessories:

ELECTRIC CONTROLS
 Motor starter built onto the davit arm provided with main switch, remote control push button box for electric
hoisting and emergency stop
 Limit switch

WIRE ROPE
 Galvanised non-rotating steel wire rope provided with thimble at one end and of sufficient length for
lowering the rescue boat into the water;

LASHING SYSTEM
In order to secure the rescue boat in stowed position, each davit system will be supplied with an adequate
lashing system consisting of two lashing straps with ratchet spanners

LADDER
For easy access of rescue boat in stowed position, each davit system will be supplied with a galvanised ladder
which should be welded on deck by Yard.

REMOTE CONTROL PARTS

 Stainless steel remote control wire of sufficient length;
 Handgrip for operating from within the rescue boat;
 Remote control sheaves;

CONSERVATION
Unless agreed otherwise, all steelwork will be shot blasted to SA 2,5 and coated with one layer of
Intergard 345 primer of brand INTERNATIONAL, Dry film thickness 100 microns.
This conservation is not suitable for outdoor storage for a long period of time.

8. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
The following accessories are to be seen as non-standard but can be supplied optionally:
 Stainless steel automatic release hook (off-load type)- CAR 35;
 Shock absorber, to dampen forces on davit structure, winch drum, steel wire rope and boat, during launch
and recovery operations;
 3 layer paint system suitable for marine environment
 Front boat support
 Bolting counter foundation
 42V Converter for battery charger - (Fast) Rescue boat

drawings is included in the instruction manual.

10. INSTRUCTION MANUAL

The davit is supplied with 3 sets of instruction/operation and maintenance manuals in the English language.
The manual contains all required information for installation, start-up, operation, maintenance and spare parts.
A set of arrangement drawings, diagrams and part drawings is included.

11. STEEL CONSTRUCTION / DESIGN REGULATIONS

All materials used in steel construction of the davit, are certified in accordance with the various classification
rules and regulations.
Upon request material certificates (3.1) for the main components are also available (for full traceability).

12. APPROVALS AND CERTIFICATES

The davit is supplied with the following test certificates:

 Davit type approval certificates are issued by class, according IMO/SOLAS,

LSA Code and EC/MED;
 Davit factory acceptance test certificate issued by class
 Winch factory acceptance test certificate issued by class
 Wire certificate
 Hook certificate (if hook included in scope of supply)

Copies of the relevant approvals and certificates are included in the instruction, maintenance and operations
manual of the davit system
