Single Point Davit PLD Type

The PLD Series by Vestdavit is a versatile, modular davit system engineered for optimized performance in handling Fast Rescue Craft (FRC) and Man-Overboard (MOB) operations. As a three-axis compensated davit, the PLD is specially designed to ensure operational stability and safety even in high-sea conditions, where precision and reliable maneuverability 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.

A standout feature of the PLD Series is its independently operable docking head, which adds an extra layer of adaptability to the system. This modularity allows operators to adapt the davit system to varying vessel types or operational requirements without extensive reconfiguration, thus enhancing both efficiency and responsiveness.

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. This combination of modularity, advanced compensation features, and adaptability makes the PLD Series a valuable asset for vessels needing reliable FRC and MOB handling capabilities across diverse operational scenarios.
