A lifeboat davit is a crucial device used for lifting and lowering lifeboats on ships. Installed on the vessel’s deck, it plays an essential role in the ship's lifesaving system. During normal operations, the davit securely lifts and stores the lifeboat. In emergencies, it enables the quick and smooth deployment of the lifeboat, ensuring timely evacuation for personnel.
Firstly, it is necessary to determine the weight of the lifeboat, including the maximum weight when fully loaded with personnel and equipment. The selected lifeboat crane must have a lifting capacity greater than the maximum weight of the lifeboat, and a certain safety margin must be reserved.
Secondly, different types of ships have different requirements for lifeboat cranes.
