Melding together the space sav- ing functions of a telescopic stored power davit with the ease of a gravity davit, the UNIC product is based on a trolley running in a travelling beam that can be stowed under deck, or can be free-standing to allow a balcony on the cabins above. Once the beam is put into motion through a stored power unit, the force of grav- ity swings the boat away from the ship.
