Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew and operators aboard vessels rely on robust and reliable safety equipment to ensure their well-being during emergencies. d-i davit international-hische GmbH’s D-RT.170 18.17.22 is a prime example of such essential gear, designed for crew evacuation and safety. This model is IMO-approved and certified by multiple classification societies including ABS, GL, DNV, BV, NK, KR, LR, among others, ensuring it meets the highest standards in maritime safety. The D-RT.170 18.17.22 offers versatile drive options such as electric, hydraulic, manual, with or without stored power (accumulator or spring force). It can handle a wide range of rescue vessels including lifeboats, fast rescue boats, and MOB boats. The hoist speed is up to 48 meters per minute, conforming to SOLAS requirements for fast rescue davits. Constructed in both normal pivot and slewing types, it can be single or double-armed with an optional docking head to prevent pendulum movements. Regular maintenance is crucial for the D-RT.170 18.17.22’s reliability. This includes annual operational tests of the on-load release gear, monthly inspections of wire ropes for corrosion and wear, and yearly checks of the braking system and sheaves. Every five years, a thorough examination and proof load test at 110% of the safe working load are required. Spare parts are available through d-i davit international-hische GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with lead times ranging from 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine test runs and annual servicing by approved providers further ensure the D-RT.170 18.17.22 remains in top condition.
