Ned-Deck Marine and Palfinger AG – a stronger position in the maritime industry
Ned-Deck Marine, leading manufacturer of high tech davit systems, has strengthened its position in the maritime industry with Palfinger AG, the leading international manufacturer of hydraulic lifting, loading and handling systems, which acquired a majority share within Ned-Deck Marine on July 16th 2010. This strategic partnership will enable customers to exploit the best of both companies’ core strengths in the marine, yachting, offshore and wind farm industry worldwide.
         
The NED-DECK MARINE pivoting gravity davits have been designed for long time operation under adverse and extreme circumstances in a highly corrosive marine environment.
Especially under arctic weather conditions this type of davit is preferred above all other davit systems.
The combination of one pivot point only and the positive centre of gravity of the lifeboat guarantees a trouble-free operation.

The PLG pivoting gravity davit is a freestanding deck mounted davit consisting of two davit arms, each supported by a davit stool, and a separate winch.
The system is suitable for safe and efficient launching of a fully manned lifeboat against unfavourable conditions of trim of up to 10 degrees and a list of up to 20 degrees either way.

The davit system has been designed especially for inboard embarkation.
Launching of the fully manned lifeboat from its stowed position to the water level is realised by means of gravity.

The Launching procedure can be controlled in two ways, either by means of a remote control wire from within the lifeboat or by lifting the brake handle of the winch directly.
Recovery of the lifeboat with its launching crew is realised by using the electric driven winch.
In case of a power failure or malfunctioning of the electric system, hoisting can also be done manually by using the crank handle of the winch.

In order to reduce maintenance to a minimum, all shafts and pins are made of stainless steel and provided with self-lubricated bushings.

The PLG 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.).
