The Subsalve USA Lifeboat Davit Testing system allows for lifeboat davits and other structures to be load tested in areas with insufficient access for conventional solid weights. The handling weight of water-filled test bags compared to solid weights is substantially reduced increasing ease of use.
Every lifeboat is manufactured of heavy-duty urethane coated nylon fabric. The nylon fabric has a breaking strength of over 1000 lbs. per inch, and the urethane coating is resistant to fuels and most petro-chemicals.
To use the system simply place the empty bag in the desired location, fill with water, execute the load test and discharge the water from the bag.
