Notes for use of lifeboat release hook


Many accidents, most can be attributed to peacetime safety work not to do. The main function of the lifeboat hook is to lift the lifeboat in the event of an accident and release the lifeboat quickly and safely in the process of escape. Therefore, its existence is very important.

Many problems should be paid attention to when using the rescue hook, and the rescue drill should be carried out at ordinary times. Only do a good job of protection, can put an end to safety hazards.

In general, there are some problems in the design of some common boat hooks, which should be paid special attention to when used. For example, the contact between the brake disc and the hook is a single contact, usually arc-to-arc contact or plane-to-plane contact or plane-to-arc contact, and the hole tolerance caused by this type of lifeboat release hook is too large. After prolonged use, the holes are more durable, and the lifeboat release hooks pose a safety hazard when lifted or released quickly.

Also, be sure to check that the release hook meets this condition only when the ship is fully afloat. If the ship does not reach the surface, it should be decoupled by deliberate repeated movements, including dismantling or bypassing the safety chain provided to prevent accidental or premature decoupling.

It should also be noted that in order to maintain good stability of the lifeboat release hook free from external forces, the lifeboat load must not transfer any force to the control system when the lock is fully restored. In addition, in the course of application, we should not pay attention to the phenomenon of decoupling, we cannot Pierce some problems due to force majeure or dislocation of the hook and the operating part, and 20°10° tilt.

In addition, we should have a standard lifeboat release hook, communicate with the manufacturer, prepare for operation, and assign professionals to carry out routine inspection and maintenance to ensure that they are in good working order.
