Galvanised mild steel davit arm, portable and lightweight. Specials and bespoke designs are available. Top quality, made in the UK.
PLD-1211








This type of light weight portable davit lifting arm is mainly manufactured from galvanized mild steel though can also be manufactured from aluminium or stainless steel if required. 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 Davits
Stainless steel lifting davit arms are utilised by food production industries. We can allso supply hoists to suit these davit cranes which use stainless steel load chain, to ensure we meet the lifting and handling requirements of our customers' environments in a safe and standard compliant manner.
Specials
All of our special davit arm jib cranes can be manufactured to our customers' specifications (height of lift and reach) and are designed for the lifting of materials and / or for the lifting of people (manriding application). For lifting applications, the davit arms can be supplied up to 1000kg safe working load (SWL)
Lifting Applications
For material lifting applications our davits can be supplied with a manual hand winch, electric chain hoist, pneumatic hoists or hand chain block to suit your lifting needs and environment.
Davit Construction
To help users comply with the manual handling regulations, our davit arms are made in three sections, this ensures that the davits are easily transportable when the davit is to be used in more than one location. This offers a cost effective solution to lifting problems, because it means that one portable davit lifting arm can be purchased and used in multiple locations (across a single site or a number of sites).
Sockets
We offer several socket options for our davit arms, please see the drawings below to select the most suitable option.
Fall Arrest / Rescue / Man-riding
Davit is fitted with a fall arrest inertia reel with integrated rescue winch and/or personnel lifting winch, please click here to view our davits for manriding applications.
More Information
The products of Selby Engineering and Lifting Safety are first choice for specifiers and engineers worldwide. Our davit sockets are used extensively in the chemical, water treatment and offshore oil and gas industries. We have a wealth of experience in the development of all types of individual davits and sockets for numerous applications.
Davit Socket Options

Top/Surface Mount
Available in 1000kg and 500kg ratings for use on flat surfaces. Cover plate can be supplied if required. Surface protection hot dip galvanised to BS1461 as standard. Stainless steel 304/316 material can be supplied/manufactured.

Cast-In (with cover plate)
This type of socket is fitted when a flush non-trip hazard installation is required. A cover plate is fitted as standard, secured with 3 x 8mm fasteners. Surface protection hot dip galvanised to BS1461 as standard. Stainless Steel 304/316 can be supplied/manufactured.

Inverted
Widely used in steel walkways where a flush installation is required to eliminate trip hazards. This type of socket can be mounted flush within open mesh flooring section. Manufactured to suit the 500kg and 1000kg davit pins. Surface finish hot dip galvanised to BS1461 . This type of socket can be supplied in 304/316 stainless steel.

Wall-Mount
Vertical installation to suit 500kg and 1000kg davits. Hot dip galvanised to BS1461. In our product range we offer back plates and tiebars to accompany the wall-type sockets for use on a brick wall. We also offer these items in stainless steel 304/316.
Davit Cranes With Spark Resistant Features / Explosion proof.
SELS can include any anti-sparking features our customers specify on Davit lifting arms we manufacture that are intended to be used in potentially explosive areas / atmospheres (Zone 1 & 2 etc...) – These features will enhance the davit’s anti-sparking properties and therefore make the crane more suitable for use in such potentially explosive environments.
SELS will not to take the responsibility of supplying our Davit cranes described as 'spark proof' or ‘explosion proof’ as this is ‘too broad’ a term. We believe that total compliance is probably impossible because of the mechanical operation and movement of a davit crane; i.e. we cannot offer a 100% guarantee that no part of the assembly is capable of generating a spark capable of igniting a flame. We supply / manufacture our cranes with anti sparking features according to the requirements and specification of our customers and therefore we ask our customers to provide a detailed specification and not just ask for sparkproof or explosion proof . Our cranes have been successfully supplied to customers in the offshore Oil and Gas industry in the UK on the basis.
