Portable steel davit crane

Ref. 17.1

Portable davit cranes or lightweight lifting jibs are designed to lift loads at specific workstations without requiring a permanent fixed installation. Thanks to their modular structure and multiple anchoring systems, they allow lifting operations to be carried out in areas where installing an overhead crane or a conventional jib crane is not feasible.

At Vinca, we offer a complete range of portable steel davit cranes available in painted, galvanized, or stainless steel (SST) versions, adapting to different working environments, from general industrial applications to sectors with high hygiene requirements or corrosive conditions.

Frequently asked questions about portable steel davit cranes

What is a davit crane?
A davit crane is a lifting system consisting of a column and a rotating arm designed for occasional load lifting operations. It is commonly used in industrial environments requiring a compact, portable, and easy-to-install lifting solution.
What is the difference between an integrated winch and a configurable version?
Integrated winch models (SD125–500) provide a ready-to-use solution without additional configuration. Models with external winches (SD750–900) allow the use of different winches such as the TL1500 or CW700, adapting lifting capacity and performance according to the application.
How does arm reach affect load capacity?
The greater the arm reach (distance between the column and the load), the lower the lifting capacity. This is due to the lever effect: the longer the distance, the higher the structural stress.
What is the difference between painted and galvanized finishes?

Painted finishes are suitable for indoor environments or low-aggressiveness conditions without significant exposure to humidity or corrosive agents.

Galvanized finishes (approx. 8 µm, ASTM Fe/Zn 8 standard) provide superior corrosion protection and are recommended for humid environments or outdoor use.

Unlike paint, galvanization provides sacrificial protection: if the surface is damaged, the zinc protects the steel and prevents rust formation. It also offers better adhesion, does not peel during use or material deformation, and requires virtually no maintenance.

When should a stainless steel davit crane (SST) be used?
The 316 stainless steel version is designed for demanding environments such as the food industry, chemical sector, or humid and corrosive environments. It provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard versions.
Which winch should I choose: TL1500 or CW700?
The TL1500 winch offers higher load capacity and is recommended for more demanding applications. The CW700 provides higher working speed and is suitable for lighter loads or less intensive use.
Can these davit cranes be installed in different locations?
Yes, they can be installed on floors, walls, or recessed anchoring systems, allowing use in different workstations.
