AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL LAUNCHING
Life raft completely incased in its fiber glass
container and mounted in a cradle on deck.
MANUAL OPERATION: 2 Men can carry
or roll the raft in its container to the side of
the ship, then simply throw it overboard,
and with a sharp pull on the painter the raft
will inflate within 30 seconds.
AUTOMATIC LAUNCHING: Following
any disaster at sea -without time to
launch life boats or rafts- SWITLIK rafts
are hydrostatically released and float to the
surface. A painter line remains attached to
the sinking vessel.
As the vessel continues to sink, the CO2
system triggered. Within 30 seconds
inflation is complete and the raft is ready for
boarding. Finally the painter line parts
completely releasing the raft from the
sinking vessel.
