Unfortunately this product is no longer available. Please view the new and updated Sala Advanced Davit Arms Systems for individual parts or contact us for with your requirements for full systems.
Our portable Tow ball mounted Davit system will Increasingly become the first choice for use by Water Authorities in the UK and further afield for safe working around access chambers, wet wells and culverts etc, particularly in remote locations... though also adapted by heavy industry and manufacturing as a truly portable height safety problem solver.
The Vehicle Hitch Mount davit system is designed to install directly to a 2" (51mm) hitch \ tow ball to provide a portable anchor point for confined space entry, man riding, fall arrest and rescue. The vehicle becomes the counterbalance weight granting the versatility for a davit to be quickly installed at many remote locations where otherwise the user may need to either install permanent sockets or carry and install ballast weights on a much larger and and less portable davit system.
Various options and extras are available, these include:
- We offer horizontal extension poles. These are used to increase the distance between the vehicle and the davit to a maximum of 10 feet; for example the access point may be inside a compound preventing the vehicle from getting close to the access chamber.
- The main socket / bracket assembly is available in two sizes. The wide option to suit the long reach davit and the standard width to suit the shorter reach davit - both are height adjustable to allow for uneven ground.
- The universal joint assembly fits between the main socket / bracket assembly or extensions and the vehicle to compensate for uneven ground .
- Davit arm options: Many height options to suit our customers requirements, we offer two reach options, both are adjustable.
- Tow ball coupler - to fit any 51mm standard tow ball. This means that the davit will fit onto any suitable vehicle (or structure) fitted with the tow ball, for example not just a van or 4x4 etc as a tow ball could simply be retro fitted to any other vehicle such as a dumper, digger, Tractor, JCB's. or even steelwork / concrete etc.....(endless potential).

Wide option - For the long reach Davit option. A Portable Vehicle tow ball Mounted socket Assembly that mounts directky to the car / van / towbar. Long Reach Vehicle Mount Sleeve / Socket : 8514461 |
