Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2338784A1] The hoisting/lowering apparatus comprises: a plurality of on-load anchoring devices (22) each comprising a support body (32) and a hook (30), a plurality of hoisting/lowering cables (20) each connected to a respective hook (30) via a main connection line (26, 28), and a plurality of fall preventing devices (40) each associated to a respective anchoring device (22). Each fall preventing device (40) comprises an auxiliary connection line (42, 46, 54, 62) between the respective hoisting/lowering cable (20) and the support body (32) of the respective anchoring device (22) separate from the main connection line (26, 28). The auxiliary connection line (42, 46, 54, 62) of each fall preventing device (40) comprises a quick-release safety pin (64) adapted to be removed to interrupt the connection between the respective hoisting/lowering cable (20) and the support body (32) of the respective anchoring device (22) via the auxiliary connection line (42, 46, 54, 62). Each fall preventing device (40) further comprises remote control means (82, 84) operatively associated to the safety pin (64) so as to allow it to be removed by the operator without requiring this latter to leave the lifeboat (10).
