Lift Emotion has designed a special solution that gives the designer the freedom of placing the lifebuoy out of visual range within the bulwark of the ship/yacht. Another keen advantage is that it can be deployed locally, as well as from the bridge.
The whole system is thought out for easy installation, loading and unloading. All materials used are rigid and suitable to withstand the harsh conditions of a salty environment. The basic materials are St steel 316L/composite.
The unit can also be delivered with a light weight composite hatch/coming and hinges making the interface to the vessel even more easier.
How does it work:
– Somebody pushes the release button
– Hatch opens
– Lifebuoy shoots out trough stored energy of multiple springs
– Lifebuoy pulls away the smoke pot
The unit working on compressed air has a accumulator for safety, so even when the ship’s air supply is failing, the unit can still be activated.
