Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
On a typical shipboard application, the W04E.FAM1 davit system is commonly found in crew evacuation and safety scenarios. Certified by DNV for SOLAS standards, this equipment ensures safe personnel movement during emergencies. Regular inspections are crucial; yearly checks include functional tests on the On-Load Release Gear (OLRG) with a 1.1×SWL load test, ensuring it releases correctly after deployment. Wire ropes must be inspected for kinks and corrosion, while the braking system should undergo a centrifugal and holding brake check to prevent blockages. Corrosion of the davit structure is another key concern, requiring non-destructive testing for any cracks or signs of severe wear. Proper maintenance logs and compliance with SOLAS requirements are essential to ensure the system remains operational for critical situations.
