A mini crane for lowering and retrieving workers, we supply a range of davit systems from world leading brands including 3M DBI SALA, Fallprotec, Kaya Safety, Skylotec and Tuff Built. Our range includes fully compiled davit systems, as well as a number of individual components that make up these systems. These include components such as davit bases/sleeves, davit arms, davit masts, base caps, clamps and base adaptors. If you would like to mount a winch or fall arrest block to your davit system, then we also supply an extensive range of mounting brackets for this purpose. As well as this, we also supply fall arrest anchor posts, extendable pole hoists and side entry systems for a number of confined space applications.
1. What is a removable davit, and where is it used?
A removable davit is a detachable access and safety solution designed for sites that require occasional or repeated maintenance, rescue and confined space entry. It can be installed when needed and removed after use, making it ideal for manholes, chambers, tanks, and service pits, where permanent structures are not suitable.
2. What is a portable davit arm?
A portable davit arm is a lightweight, modular mini crane-like system that provides a certified overhead anchorage point. It is transportable and commonly used for temporary access, confined space access and rescue operations, offering flexibility across multiple sites without the need for fixed installations.
3. What are davit arms used for?
Davit arms are used to support fall protection, personnel lifting, and rescue in vertical access applications. They are frequently deployed in confined spaces where overhead anchorage is required for safe lowering, raising, or retrieval of workers.
4. What types of davit bases are available?
A davit base can be surface-mounted (wall, floor, etc), socket-mounted, counterweighted, or vehicle-mounted. The choice depends on whether the system needs to be permanent, removable, or mobile, as well as ground conditions and load requirements.
5. What is a mobile davit arm?
A mobile davit arm is designed to be repositioned easily across a site, often using a wheeled or counterbalanced base. It allows safe access at multiple locations without fixed anchor points, making it suitable for maintenance, rescue and inspection work.
6. What is a davit lifting arm?
A davit lifting arm provides controlled vertical lifting and lowering of personnel or equipment. It is commonly paired with fall arrest devices or retrieval systems to ensure safe movement in and out of confined spaces.
7. What is a davit arm rescue system?
A davit arm rescue system combines a davit arm with compatible fall protection and rescue equipment to allow rapid recovery of a worker in an emergency. It is an essential part of any confined space rescue plan where fall arrest equipment is in use.
8. What is a davit hoist used for?
A davit hoist is used to raise or lower personnel and equipment through vertical access points. When integrated with a davit system, it enables controlled movement while maintaining compliance with work-at-height and confined space safety requirements.
