Davit System (Lifeboat/Raft) · Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
Crew evacuation and safety are paramount on any vessel, and a reliable winch system is essential for ensuring swift and secure deployment of lifeboats or rescue equipment. The Model W02E/M series winch with or without an electric motor; maximum approved working load of 17.1 kN, is designed to meet these critical needs. This winch is certified to SOLAS standards, making it suitable for use in various maritime environments where personnel safety is a top priority. Routine maintenance and inspections are crucial for the reliable operation of this equipment. The on-load release gear (OLRG) requires an annual functional test with 1.1 times the safe working load (SWL), followed by checks for dry paint, dirt, corrosion, wear, or cracks in the lock and threads. Every five years, a dynamic test is mandated to ensure continued safety. Wire ropes should be inspected for kinks, corrosion, broken strands, and proper certification. The brake system, including both centrifugal and holding brakes, must be checked for wear, descent speed (SOLAS S=0.4+0.02H, max ~36 m/min), remote release function, and any blockages due to improper maintenance. Additionally, the davit structure should be inspected for corrosion, particularly in zinc-coated areas and stainless steel fastenings, with non-destructive testing (NDT) used to detect cracks. Compliance with planned maintenance since installation is essential, with annual and five-year inspections recorded in the logbook and performed by authorized personnel. Spare parts for the Model W02E/M series winch with or without an electric motor; maximum approved working load of 17.1 kN, are available through Global Davit GmbH or authorized distribution partners, with a lead time of 2-6 weeks. Weekly engine test runs and annual servicing by an approved provider further ensure the system’s readiness for emergencies. GRP hull inspections should be conducted during docking to maintain overall safety standards.
