Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew members, engineers, and operators on board ships rely heavily on davit systems for safety and evacuation during emergencies. Ensuring these critical pieces of equipment are in top condition is crucial for the well-being of all onboard. Global Davit GmbH offers SOLAS-approved W26L models (W26L.08, W26L.11, W26L.20) that meet stringent maritime safety standards. Regular inspections and maintenance, including annual functional tests of the on-load-release-gear with 1.1 times SWL load, are essential to prevent failures. Additionally, checking for wear and corrosion in critical components like wire ropes and brakes is necessary to ensure safe operation. Proper documentation and compliance with service intervals are also key to maintaining these vital safety systems.
