What our Experts Think
-
Robust Commercial‑Grade Survival Platform – The Revere 6‑16 Person Compact USCG/SOLAS A Life Raft (45‑REV‑CPT‑6LP / 45‑CPTCRAD) is a US Coast Guard and SOLAS A‑approved inflatable raft designed for demanding offshore conditions, built from proven military‑derived design principles for reliability when it matters most.
-
Space‑Saving, High‑Stability Design – Its compact container reduces stowage space up to ~40% compared to traditional cylindrical rafts while maintaining rugged performance and stability thanks to dual ballast pockets and large boarding ramps for easier boarding in rough seas.
-
Comprehensive Survival Kit Included – SOLAS A equipment such as paddles, sea anchors, flares (parachute, smoke, hand), repair kit, thermal protective aids, first aid, food, water, and signaling tools comes standard — enhancing safety and compliance for commercial and offshore use.
-
Durable Construction & Visibility – Features like a dual‑tube inflation system, insulated floor, insulated canopy, retro‑reflective tape and internal/external lighting help retain heat, boost visibility, and improve overall safety in emergency situations.
-
Flexible Capacity Options – Available in 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16 person sizes, with dimensions and pack weights clearly defined for vessel planning; the 6‑person model measures ~31×22×13 in and weighs ~143 lb packed.
-
Professional Launch & Mounting Options – Offers throw‑over launch capability and optional stainless or galvanized cradles with hydrostatic release units (HRU) for secure deck mounting and automatic deployment when needed.

Maintenance Tips
-
Annual Certified Servicing – Schedule annual inspection & servicing by an authorized life‑raft repacker (opening, inspection, inflation‑test, repair, repack) to ensure integrity of seams, inflation system, and survival gear.
-
Hydrostatic Release & Cylinder Checks – When serviced, confirm hydrostatic release and CO₂ inflation cylinder are current and weight‑checked/tested to standards; replace if expired or corroded.
-
Visual Inspection of Container & Pack – Periodically check the raft’s container exterior, seals, and zip closures for damage, moisture, or crushed areas that could compromise deployment.
-
Replace Consumables On Schedule – Monitor expiry of SOLAS A survival kit items (flares, food, water, medical supplies) and replace them before expiry as part of routine maintenance.
-
Stowage Environment – Store the container in a clean, dry, shaded location on deck or below, avoiding prolonged UV and heat exposure to extend fabric and pack life.
-
Cradle & Hydrostatic Unit Care – If equipped with a cradle and hydrostatic release unit (HRU), inspect the cradle mount and HRU date to ensure correct automatic deployment if the vessel sinks.
-
Training & Familiarization – Conduct controlled practice deployment and inspection drills (without CO₂ activation) so crew knows deployment steps and can spot issues early
