Lift smarter. Work faster. Boat easier. The Baywatt CR400 Series is the lightest marine davit crane in its class — weighing only 40 kg (15kg for the portable arm). This portable davit crane is a compact lifting hoist built for marine professionals, boat owners, and marina operators who need reliable power every day. Hoist a dinghy/tender, kayak or RIB, or load heavy gear easily up to a max safe working load (SWL) of 900 lb (400 kg).
The electric winch option offers up to 3000 lb line pull (12V DC), but the crane structure is rated to a maximum SWL of 900 lb (400 kg). Always size your lifts to the crane’s SWL, not the winch line pull. For loads over 250 kg, use a snatch block to double-line the lift as recommended to reach 400kg limit lift.
