Schat-Harding Freefall SWL-55t-B

Schat-Harding / Survitec Schat-Harding Freefall SWL-55t-B is identified in the source list as a freefall davit. It is installed at the assigned survival-craft or rescue-boat station on deck and structurally attached to the vessel. Its purpose is to launch and recover the associated rescue boat, lifeboat or life raft using the approved falls, winch and hook arrangement. The source record provides no additional model-specific operating figure beyond the listed designation and category. The davit, winch, falls, brakes, sheaves and release interfaces form part of a certified launching appliance and must be maintained as an integrated system. The exact model designation and any stated SWL distinguish approved capacity and arrangement from neighboring davits; refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

●Wire-rope deterioration caused by corrosion, broken wires or crushing, resulting in visible damage or uneven running
●Winch-brake or gearbox problems caused by wear, contamination or poor adjustment, resulting in poor load control or abnormal noise
●Sheave, pin or bearing wear caused by corrosion and cyclic loading, resulting in stiff movement, play or wire-rope damage
●Limit-switch or control failure caused by electrical or mechanical faults, resulting in unexpected stopping or inability to operate
●Structural corrosion or cracking caused by weather exposure and repeated loading, resulting in coating breakdown, deformation or inspection findings

Service & Maintenance

Inspect falls, sheaves, pins, winch, brakes, controls, limit devices and structural foundations. Lubricate specified points and check free movement without contaminating brake surfaces. Examine wire ropes and terminations for corrosion, broken wires and deformation. Function-test controls and recovery equipment using the authorized procedure and restore all securing arrangements afterward. Inspect the davit structure for corrosion, cracking or deformation. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for inspection intervals, renewal criteria, load tests and brake settings.
