What is the best lifting ratio for a davit?

We believe in providing the highest lifting ratio for our davits. All of our rail mounted davits have a 6:1 block and pulley system, our 300 lb. fixed model 2000 has 7:1 and our 750 lb. model 5000 has a 12:1 system plus a 6.8:1 winch. All of these purchase systems are designed to give a maximum 30 lb. pull on the rope. This provides 100% safety advantage while other manufactures provide optional block systems that exceed the tolerance of their davit systems. This ensures that you have to expend the least amount energy as possible to secure your tender.
