Global Impact: Over 2000 Next-Generation Patented Python Davit Foundation Cranes are in Operation Across Worldwide Offshore Wind Farms.
Introducing the latest generation Python Davits. Designed and manufactured by Granada Cranes, world-leading offshore foundation crane specialists, these latest generation Python Davits provide a lifting capability that sets new standards of reliability and efficiency.
Such is the build quality of these advanced, innovative cranes that they are approved for use with turbines from all major manufacturers and all foundation designs (transition piece, jacket and floating platforms).
The patented Python main boom enables on-deck maintenance and the fitting of a temporary manual hoist for foundation commission work and man-riding attachment. This innovative design enhances operational efficiency and safety.
The Davit crane design, which avoids the use of hydraulics, significantly reduces maintenance costs by approximately 60%. It also eliminates the environmental risks associated with hydraulic systems, such as venting or failures.
Key components like the hoist, slew bearing, electrical control panel, and front sheave are all accessible from the laydown area or the WTG steps, ensuring safety by eliminating the need for working at height.
The offshore davit crane offers a range of capabilities with a radius of 2m to 8m, lift heights up to 40m, and the capacity to easily switch from 1te to 3te without additional equipment. It also features high-quality materials like 316L stainless steel and world-class components, ensuring durability and compliance with offshore standards.
The marine davit crane includes an array of safety systems such as AOPS, MOPS, and an emergency descent system, all conforming to relevant marine environment standards. The design and materials used, like the duplex corrosion classification and IP 67 cable seal, ensure high standards of safety and reliability.
Python Davit cranes are certifiable at the foundation yard, avoiding extra offshore testing. With third-party accreditation like DNV, they assure compliance with international standards and stringent offshore safety guidelines.
