Atlas Carbon Davits, produced by Jeremy Rogers Yachts Ltd., in Milford-on-Sea, UK, are an indispensable aid, and all the more so because of their low weight, which simplifies assembly and storage.

The new Atlas 2000 carbon fibre davit, which is made using Advanced Composite Group's (ACG) VTM®260 (Variable Temperature Moulding) prepregs and ZPREG®260, can be used where a longer reach is required to lift heavy equipment to and from the dockside, while still remaining totally portable. Lifting is made even easier by the ability of the Atlas 2000 to rotate through a full 360 degrees.
With the capability to lift and manoeuvre loads up to 500kg (1100lbs), items such as engines, generators, service equipment and life rafts can be picked up with relative ease. The Atlas 2000, which is available in both manual or electric (12V or 24V DC) configuration, also doubles as a life-saving device in 'man overboard' situations. |

As you might have expected, all Atlas davits are CE approved and, in most cases, can be mounted onto a bulwark or through the deck. The location socket can be sealed with a watertight cap when the davit is stowed away.
This is just one of a range of davits produced using ACG's advanced prepregs. Depending on the model, davits weigh between 15kg (33lbs) to 22kg (48lbs), making them extremely portable.
