Aircraft Crash and Salvage Cranes
- Legacy mobile cranes that provide support to ship’s crash and salvage team in the event of an aircraft or flight deck mechanical failure. Without a Crash and Salvage Crane, aircrafts are not allowed to perform flight operations. The Crash and Salvage Crane is a rear-wheel drive tractor designed for towing aircraft weighing up to 100,000 pounds. The frame is a welded-steel one-piece unit with power assisted front wheel steering, power assist disc brakes, and a conventional 12-volt system with alternator to power lights, accessories, horn, ignition, and instruments. Front and rear tow couplers and tie-downs are provided.
- CVNs (NIMITZ and FORD Class); LHA (AMERICA Class)
Boat Handling Systems
- Boat handling systems provide for deployment and retrieval of 11-meter, non-cabin, or cabin type Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs). The Boat Handling System can launch and recovering an 11-meter RHIB in up to, and including, Sea State 5 conditions with the ship at an adverse list of 10 degrees. It is also capable of boat launching and recovery with the ship underway, up to 10 knots
- CVN (FORD Class); LHA (AMERICA Class)
Bridge/Payload Cranes
- Electrically powered bridge cranes provide the capability to handle payloads in the longitudinal, transverse, and vertical directions. Capable of hoisting up to 2,000 pounds (6,000 pounds on CVNs) and rated for shipboard operation through Sea State 4 conditions. Longitudinal travel up to 10 feet per minute.
- DDG (ARLEIGH BURKE Class); FFG (CONSTELLATION Class); CVN (FORD Class); LCS (FREEDOM Class)
Launch Recovery Handling and Stowage (LRHS)
- Electrically powered LRHS, providing the capability to handle loads in the longitudinal, transverse, and vertical directions. Rated for a maximum lift of 12,400kg under dynamic conditions imposed by ship motion. This system provides coverage in the two adjacent waterborne mission zones and reconfigurable spaces.
- LCS (FREEDOM Class)
Lifeboat Davits
- Hydraulic pivoting and gravity davits for small craft designed for use in an emergency. Complies with latest SOLAS regulations.

- The TBEC is used to launch and retrieve watercraft, including the 11-meter RHIB and Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs). TBEC is electro-hydraulic powered and controlled and provides the capability to translate loads in the longitudinal and vertical directions. This capability includes the ability to lift a watercraft off the mission bay deck, translate it through the stern doors, and lower and launch the watercraft in the water, and recover.
- LCS (INDEPENDENCE CLASS)
