Q

You will find a limit switch on which type of davit?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Modern davit safety features used with lifeboats on larger vessels • How gravity davits and sheath‑screw davits are operated compared to older radial davits • Where a limit switch would be useful to stop travel at a safe end position

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which type of davit moves along a track or has a powered/electric winch system where travel must be automatically stopped at the end? • Consider which davits are older, mostly manual designs and which are more modern, mechanical systems that might need electrical interlocks. • Think about when over‑travel of the davit arms or winch could be dangerous and how a limit switch would prevent that.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option(s) are powered or mechanically controlled and not just simple manual swinging arms. • Decide which system would most likely need an electrical or mechanical cutoff device at the end of its hoist/lower range. • Verify from your lifeboat equipment notes which davit type is commonly associated with automatic stops, safety interlocks, and remote control.
