Designed and manufactured by Granada, world-leading offshore foundation crane specialists, these latest generation Python Davits provide a lifting capability that sets new standards of reliability and efficiency.
Such is the build quality of these advanced, innovative cranes that they are approved for use with turbines from all major manufacturers and all foundation designs (transition piece, jacket and floating platforms).
Over 1000 next generation Python Davit foundation cranes already in operation on worldwide offshore wind farms
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.
