Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Shipboard evacuation systems rely on reliable davits to safely deploy lifeboats during emergencies. The Rhs.S.T.15,2/4,0-10/7,0 model, designed for crew safety, is certified according to SOLAS regulations for personnel evacuation. This davit is approved by DNV and meets IMO standards, ensuring compliance with maritime safety guidelines. Common failure points include the on-load release gear, wire ropes, and braking systems, all of which require regular inspection and maintenance. For instance, the on-load release gear must undergo an annual function test with 1.1 times the safe working load and be checked for corrosion and wear. Wire ropes should be inspected for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, while braking systems need to be assessed for wear and correct deceleration speed. Additionally, the davit's structure must be protected against corrosion, and all maintenance activities must be logged and completed by authorized personnel. Spare parts are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine tests and annual servicing of the release hook by an approved service provider are also required, along with a thorough examination every five years.
