5   Portable Cantilever Davit Arms

This category contains portable (movable) lifting davit arm's, designed to perform the same task as the standard lifting davit except they do not require (or use) an installed socket for support, they use counterbalanced weights and is therefore are self supporting. A free standing davit arm is not fixed to a supporting structure because the counterbalanced weight and design provide stability and this enables it to self support the weight being lifted.
