Davit arm solutions
Our davit arm and hoist systems are designed for working at height and confined space entry, and are fully tested and compliant with all relevant standards including BS 8610: 2017. The units are constructed of lightweight, high-strength materials and some systems can be broken down for easy transport.
A wide range of moveable davit bases are available including dead weight systems, H frames and even tow bar attachments. Freestanding portable bases are ideal for work areas where frequent set up and break down is required or where no suitable structure is available for the mounting of a fixed base.
When access is required on a regular basis, davit sockets can be used. These are manufactured as part of the davit system and can be fixed to concrete and steel where structural requirements can be met. Davit sockets are available in anodised or galvanised mild steel or stainless steel for a range of different structural configurations.
Our davit systems have been designed and installed for many of our major clients in the energy and utilities sectors.
Workers required to use a davit arm should undertake training.
Installation, testing and certification
Davit arm systems should be installed by a competent company. They should be visually checked before and after each use and be inspected annually to maintain safety standards.
Where a davit is used to lift/lower personnel it comes under the LOLER Regulations and must be inspected in accordance with its recommendations. As experts in fall protection solutions, we offer a full design service, installation of the product and can provide ongoing annual inspection and certification.
