Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Regular maintenance and compliance with inspection standards are crucial to ensuring the reliability and safety of lifeboat winches like the W26L.03 series from Global Davit GmbH. This model is approved for a maximum safe working load in the static condition of 106.8 kN pull at the drums (first layer). Key areas of focus during inspections include the on-load release gear, which requires an annual functional test with 1.1 times the SWL and a five-year dynamic test as per SOLAS III / MSC.402(96). The wire ropes should be checked for kinks, corrosion, and broken strands, with replacement recommended if more than 10% of the wires are damaged over an 8d length. Additionally, the brake system must be inspected for wear on the brake lining and proper operation at a descent speed not exceeding approximately 36 meters per minute. Regular checks for corrosion in the davit structure and adherence to planned maintenance schedules, as outlined by the manufacturer, are also essential. Spare parts for the W26L.03 series lifeboat winch; approved for a maximum safe working load in the static condition of 106.8 kN pull at the drums (first layer) are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with lead times ranging from 2 to 6 weeks. Weekly engine test runs and annual servicing by an approved provider further enhance the winch’s reliability and safety.
