WHAT IS A THERN DAVIT CRANE?
A Thern davit crane is a crane system comprised of an angled beam set over an upright axis. They usually come with a single mechanical arm and are generally used to help operators safely lift or lower heavy objects such as boats or anchors. Though they are primarily used on ships and boats, they can be found across various industrial and construction industries. Davit cranes can be either hand or power-operated, and since they are designed for the sole purpose of lifting goods and machinery, they are generally unsuitable for carrying people.
ADVANTAGES OF USING A THERN DAVIT CRANE
Incredibly strong
Thern davit cranes have been designed specifically for handling heavy loads alone, so they are exceptionally strong. All parts of a davit crane – from its arm to its anchors – are made of tough materials that are durable and strong, which makes the task of lifting and accurately placing heavy goods incredibly simple for the operator. While the strength of each davit crane model may vary, their overall strength is comparatively more than other cranes – davit cranes can lift up to 2200lbs! Regardless of your industry of work, the unparalleled strength of davit cranes makes them a great choice for your lifting applications.
Great reach
Common cranes don’t tend to have a high reach, since they utilize a hoist to move goods from one place to another. This means they must change their position to be able to reach objects, and objects must be placed in a convenient and easy-to-reach location. The davit crane, on the other hand, does not use the hoist mechanism to pick up goods. This means that it can reach an object from a considerable distance, even if the objects are not positioned conveniently.
Flexible Application
Davit cranes come with adjustable booms with telescoping, and they can rotate 360 degrees, so their uses are versatile. They are not held back by a set range of motion. Instead, the booms can be adjusted to various positions which makes the davit crane’s operation smoother than many other cranes. You can get davit cranes with multiple bases, to ensure that it is capable of any application on your worksite. You can also configure davit cranes in multiple ways – for instance, with a manual winch or a power winch – allowing you personalize your davit crane to your specific needs.
Durable
These cranes are designed and manufactured to be used in various industries and applications, so they will remain functional in harsh weather and environmental conditions.
Portable
You can get davit cranes with a movable foundation, which will allow you to transport the crane to wherever you need. They are also lightweight and easy to install, so moving them from one worksite to another is an easy task.
Easy installation
Davit cranes require no special tools or skills for their installation and disassembly, so there is no need to call a specialist professional to set up your crane.
BUYERS’ GUIDE
Lifting Capacity
One of the most important things to consider when choosing your davit crane is it’s lifting capacity – or, in simple terms, how strong the crane is. Each davit crane has a different lifting capacity, with stationary cranes being able to lift up to 2,000lbs, while portable cranes can pick up to 1 ton of weight. Before choosing your crane, think about how and where you will use it – if it will have many different applications or will be used at various worksites, a portable davit is the best option. Meanwhile, if you are planning to lift extremely heavy loads at just one worksite, a stationary davit may suit your needs.
Height
Before choosing a hoist for your davit crane, you must first measure its height from the floor to the base of the crane’s boom. This distance is crucial in helping you find the right hoist for your crane.
Power Source
A davit crane can either rotate its system manually or with electricity. If you’re handling bigger or heavier loads, an electric powered winch is great for controlling the additional weight while also keeping the crane operator safe. Manual systems are great for lighter loads.
Weatherization
If your worksite is outdoors, you may want to make sure that your davit crane and all its components are appropriately weatherproofed. This will ensure that your davit crane does not get damaged and can have a long life.
