Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Regular maintenance and thorough inspections are crucial to ensure the reliability and safety of crew evacuation systems like the D-FH.60 06.05.02 from d-i davit international-hische GmbH. This model is designed for medium-capacity SOLAS-certified personnel transport, making it suitable for rescue boats, fast rescue boats, life rafts, and MOB boats. The D-FH.60 06.05.02 features multiple drive options including electric, hydraulic, manual, and stored power (battery or spring-loaded), ensuring versatility in various operational conditions. It supports a hoisting speed of up to 48 m/min for fast rescue davits, adhering to SOLAS standards. The construction is available in normal pivot or slewing types, with single or double arms, and an optional docking head to prevent pendulum movements. To maintain optimal performance, the D-FH.60 06.05.02 requires regular checks on critical components such as the on-load release gear, wire ropes, braking systems, sheaves, structural integrity, and proof-load testing. Annual operational tests and five-year overhauls are essential to ensure all systems function correctly under load. Spare parts for the D-FH.60 06.05.02 are available through d-i davit international-hische GmbH or authorized partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks. Weekly engine test runs and annual release hook servicing by approved providers further contribute to its reliability.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Weekly engine test run (min. 5 min). Release hook servicing annually by an approved service provider (SOLAS MSC.402(96)). GRP hull inspection at docking. Five-year thorough examination.
| Visual inspection | weekly |
|---|---|
| Operational launch test | monthly |
| Thorough examination | annual |
| Dynamic winch/davit test | 5-yearly per SOLAS III/LSA Code |
| Wire fall condition assessment | at each thorough examination, replace on condition (typically around 5 years) |
| Stored-power unit service | annual charge/pressure check per manufacturer |
Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
| Wire fall diameter reduction | commonly discarded around 10% loss from nominal diameter, or per visible broken-wire criteria - confirm against the maker's rope condition assessment |
|---|---|
| Davit pivot bearing clearance | manufacturer-specific; check against d-i davit international's manual rather than a generic figure |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
SOLAS III/LSA Code equipment. Class requires records of weekly, monthly, annual and 5-yearly tests in the LSA maintenance record book. Annual thorough examination and the 5-year dynamic test must be carried out by the manufacturer or a service provider recognised by the Administration. The on-load release gear has separate testing/maintenance requirements from the davit/winch itself.
Estimated lifetime: Davit and winch mechanical structure is typically rated for the vessel's service life (20-25 years) subject to annual thorough examination and 5-yearly dynamic testing; wire falls and hydraulic seals are renewed on a condition/calendar basis well before that.
