Rhs.L.S.15,2/3,5-9,9/3,7

Onboard ships, crew evacuation systems are critical for ensuring safety during emergencies. The Rhs.L.S.15,2/3,5-9,9/3,7 davit system is designed to meet these stringent requirements, providing reliable support for crew evacuation and safety operations. Certified to SOLAS standards, it is approved by DNV and conforms to IMO regulations. The davit’s primary function is to handle lifeboats, ensuring they can be safely launched and retrieved in accordance with maritime safety guidelines. Maintenance and inspection are crucial for the continued reliability of the davit. Annual functional testing of the on-load release gear (OLRG) must be conducted with a load of 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), followed by a thorough visual inspection for corrosion, wear, and damage. Wire ropes should be checked for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with any sections requiring renewal based on manufacturer recommendations. The braking system, including both centrifugal and holding brakes, should be inspected for wear and tested for proper deceleration rates as mandated by SOLAS. Structural integrity is also vital, with inspections focusing on zinc-coated structures and stainless steel fastenings for signs of corrosion or discoloration. Regular maintenance compliance is documented in the ship’s logbook, adhering to a strict schedule of annual and five-year inspections. Spare parts are available from Global Davit GmbH or authorized partners, with typical lead times of 2 to 6 weeks.
