D-FT.65

Crew members and safety operators rely on robust and reliable davit systems to ensure swift and secure crew evacuation during emergencies at sea. d-i davit international-hische GmbH’s D-FT.65 model is a prime example of such critical equipment, designed for medium-capacity crew evacuation and safety operations. This davit system is IMO-approved and certified by multiple classification societies including ABS, GL, DNV, BV, NK, KR, LR, and others. It supports various rescue vessels like lifeboats, fast rescue boats, and MOB boats, with a hoisting speed of up to 48 meters per minute, ensuring compliance with SOLAS standards. The D-FT.65 offers versatile drive options, including electric, hydraulic, manual, and stored power configurations. Its construction is adaptable, available in normal pivot or slewing types, single or double-armed, and can be equipped with a docking head to prevent pendulum movements. The system’s load capacity is customizable based on the ship type and rescue boat weight, providing tailor-made solutions. Regular maintenance is crucial for the D-FT.65's reliability. Annual checks include operational tests of the on-load release gear, wire condition assessments, brake functionality evaluations, sheave inspections, and proof-load testing at 110% of the safe working load. A thorough five-year examination ensures all components remain in optimal condition. Spare parts are readily available through d-i davit international-hische GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks. Weekly engine test runs and annual release hook servicing by an approved provider further guarantee the system’s readiness for any emergency.
