Portable Light Weight Leanover Style Davit Arm With many Options. Built to Customers Specification - Range to 1000kg

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.

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.
