Electric Mini-Crane System
MC-1000 / MC-1500

The MC model mini cranes are among the finest low profile davit systems that you can install on board a yacht. They incorporate features that are the result of years of product and market research. Extensive load testing has further ensured that the davit line is conservatively rated, and reliable in service. All of the many features of the mini-crane davit systems come together in an ultra low-profile, high quality, low maintenance, easy to operate tender handling system which makes tender handling simple and easy.

All Mini-Crane davit systems feature P.B.A.S. (Pneumatic Boom Assistance System), a feature that counter balances the weight of the davit's boom. This allows the user to lift the davit's boom into one of the five available boom positions with less than five pounds of effort. Once the davit's boom is positioned in its using position, the user locks into position with a stainless steel load pin.

Mini-Crane davit systems rotate on a typical standpipe mounting structure. The standard flange angle is "0" degrees unless otherwise specified at time of order. the MC-1000 & 1500 davit system rotation utilizes a ball -bearing thrust bearing, and two roll-bearing radial load bearings to reduce rotation friction. All Mini-Cranes can be mounted on a pedestal structure in lieu of through standpipe, if the yachts deck structure will allow for this addition to the above mounts, Nautical Structures offers these davits with an optional telescoping standpipe air lift assist for achieving additional height when in use, without sacrificing the low feature when stowed.

The winch systems used in the Mini-Cranes vary, but all go through a marinization process to further protect them from the elements. The DC models use Either 12VDC or 24VDC electric winches, featuring a three-stage planetary gear reduction to an aluminum cable drum. All of the gearing is located inside of a sealed housing. The 1000-AC & 1500-AC models feature the Columbia™ electric winch, considered by many to be the finest winch of its class. The Columbia™ winch is a planetary-gear drive winch, with its gearing enclosed in an oil-bath gearbox. Its primary construction is aluminum. The cable takeup drum is oversized to fit the width of the davit boom. This helps to prevent cable fouling. All Mini-Cranes are rigged with a 3/16" (4.7mm) or 1/4 (6.35mm) 7x19 stainless steel wire rope, terminated with a solid brass weight and steel safety hook. Typical cable payout is 21 feet.

The Mini-Crane is constructed primarily of aluminum, with secondary structural parts in 316-L stainless steel. All lufing pins are stainless steel and bused with high load capacity, composite ACM™ bushings. All fasteners are installed with Tef-Gel™ anti corrosion paste applied. The davit system is hand finished to an exacting standard of detail; epoxy-primed and faired, epoxy primed a second time over the fairing, then painted using Acry Glo-Proline™ by Sherwin Williams™ Two part Urethane Paint System. The standard color is "off white" WP02045, unless otherwise specified at the time of order. The davit system is assembled onto one of our test foundations and is dynamically tested. The Mini-Crane davit system is cleaned, certified and packaged for delivery, an Example of our commitment to excellence in yachting accessories.
