1    Fall Arrest Davit Arms & Posts for Working at Height

LiftingSafety offer Davits made to our customers specification manufactured from galvanised steel, stainless steel or from lightweight aluminium. We offer two main designs of lightweight portable davit arms for working at height applications, 'Lean Over' type davits and 'Vertical Pole' type davits. The vertical pole davits are usually supplied with a split vertical pole with male / female socket to make manual handling easier. They are suited to applications where there is an obstruction which must be worked around (like over a handrail). Because the unit is relatively compact, it offers an excellent solution for a confined space or restricted access environment. Many of our customers from the offshore oil and gas industries utilise our davits in either aluminium or stainless steel as the working environment demands. Stainless steel lifting davit arms are utilised by food production industries, where stringent regulations must be adhered to with regard to cleanliness. All of our special davit arm jib cranes can be manufactured to our customers specification (height of lift and reach) and are designed for the lifting of people (man-riding application).

Reducing fall distance reduces the effect of the fall and therefore there is less chance of injury to the casualty.
