Advanced Features of SurvitecZodiac Davit Launched Liferafts
Manufactured with durable polyurethane coated fabric, all SurvitecZodiac davit-launched liferafts are assembled using the advanced SurvitecZodiac hot assembly technique, ThermobondingTM.

Being computer-controlled, ThermobondingTM eliminates the inconsistencies inherent in the old-fashioned gluing methods still used by other manufacturers.

The fabric's chemical nature and the Thermobonding process make SurvitecZodiac davit-launched liferafts especially inert to ageing factors in the marine environment and procure to SurvitecZodiac davit-launched liferafts extreme strength and safety when loaded, an essential factor for this type of liferaft.
  
Due to the fabric weight and structure, SurvitecZodiac davit-launched liferafts are easy to service and require light, short sized but remarkably strong, glass reinforced plastic (GRP) containers, which give quick access to the lifting bridle.
All davit-launched liferafts have been submitted to 4 times overload test, fully loaded 3 meters drop test, side impact test and side abrasion test.


Designed to be launched by a davit, SurvitecZodiac davit-launched liferafts can also be dropped from up to 36 meters* in emergency evacuation conditions.

*25 an 37 persons davit-launched liferaft A Pack: 25 meters.

Equipment packs are sealed in strong watertight bags, secured to the internal safety line of the liferafts. Approved EPIRB may also be included on request.
