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.
Features of the portable steel davit crane
-
- Ready for lifting operations in just 5 seconds.
- Very easy to transport, weighing only 25 kg.
- 360° rotation with integrated pivot support system.
- Maintenance-free design.
- Adjustable handle for improved operation.
- Cable included: 8 m standard cable length (longer lengths available on request).
- Paint application according to DIN/ISO 12944, C1M.
- Integrated winch compliant with EN 13157 and DIN 15020 standards.

Frequently asked questions about portable steel davit cranes
What is a davit crane?
What is the difference between an integrated winch and a configurable version?
How does arm reach affect load capacity?
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?
Which winch should I choose: TL1500 or CW700?
Can these davit cranes be installed in different locations?
