Global Gravity SWL-5t

Global Davit Global Gravity SWL-5t is a gravity davit in the supplied category 'Davits / Gravity Davit'. It is normally installed on the embarkation or boat deck adjacent to the survival craft it serves. It is intended to support and lower a survival craft using gravity-assisted launching arrangements. Compared with neighbouring entries in the same series, the supplied list identifies this unit by its model designation; the meaning of any embedded size or rating code should be confirmed in manufacturer documentation. In service it interfaces with the survival craft, falls or launching track as applicable, winch and brake, hooks or release gear, limit devices and securing arrangements. Model-specific limits, settings, dimensions and acceptance criteria that are not stated in the supplied data should be taken from the manufacturer documentation.

Common failures & inspection points

Corrosion or seized pivots, sheaves and rollers increases operating resistance and can prevent smooth launching
Worn or damaged falls and wire ropes show broken wires, corrosion or deformation and require corrective action
Brake, clutch or winch defects cause uncontrolled movement, slippage or inability to hoist or lower
Limit switch or interlock faults stop powered movements or permit incorrect sequencing
Poor lubrication or distorted structure causes noise, binding, uneven travel or abnormal loading

Service & Maintenance

Inspect structure, welds, fasteners, falls, sheaves, winch, brake, hooks or release connections, limit devices and corrosion protection. Verify operational testing and maintenance records for the launching appliance and associated survival craft. Load tests, renewal criteria and exact adjustment values must follow statutory, class and manufacturer requirements rather than estimated figures.
