The new, lightweight TECH-1000-2 automated hydraulic davit from Nautical Structures (Largo, Florida, USA) can handle a working load up to 1,000 pounds in all boom positions aboard boats and yachts from 40 to 140 feet. Weighing in at just 165 pounds, the all-aluminum davit is, according to the company, 35 percent lighter and stronger than comparable davit designs and comes complete with mounting standpipe and hydraulic power unit.

The TECH-1000-2 features a fully faired and painted finish to match the paint color of the yacht. Hydraulic slew (optional) boom-luff and linear winch provide smooth and quiet performance. The boom stows in an eight-foot or nine-foot design and reaches full boom-length potential under full rated load capacity.
