WHY APPI:
Boating enthusiasts understand the challenge of safely and efficiently deploying and retrieving dinghies from larger vessels. When Rick Crossland needed a reliable electric hoist solution for his existing vessel davit system, he collaborated with Allied Power Products, Inc. (APPI) to identify the ideal solution that would meet his specific marine application requirements.
After thorough discussions about the vessel configuration, weight requirements, and operational needs, Rick and APPI jointly determined that the Columbia HC1100 AC electric hoist would provide the optimal combination of lifting capacity, speed, and reliability for this marine application.
Key features of this vessel davit solution include:
- Sufficient line pull capacity of 1,100 pounds, providing ample power for lifting and lowering the dinghy safely in varying marine conditions.
- Convenient quick-disconnect pendant control, allowing for flexible operation and secure storage when not in use – an important feature identified during collaborative discussions.
- Marine-grade components engineered to withstand the harsh saltwater environment, addressing a critical concern for longevity in marine applications.
- Compact design specifically selected to integrate seamlessly with the existing davit structure on Rick’s vessel.
By implementing this collaboratively developed hoist solution, Rick has significantly improved his dinghy management capabilities. The system provides enhanced safety, increased convenience, and reliable performance for routine dinghy operations.
