Patented main boom and other key facts about Python Davit foundation cranes:
In lowering mode, the patented Python main boom allows on-deck maintenance and the fitting of a temporary manual hoist for foundation commission work and man-riding attachment.
Third party accreditation available – Eg DNV.
Cranes can be certified at the foundation yard for offshore use (no need for offshore testing).
Davit uses no hydraulics. This reduces maintenance costs by approximately 60% and avoids the potential environmental impact of a hydraulic system either venting or failing altogether.
No working at height. Hoist, slew bearing, electrical control panel and front sheave are all accessible from either the laydown area or the WTG steps.
