Description

Removable davit designed to suspend a worker to carry out maintenance or cleaning work on a facade. The davit system can be used by a rope access specialist, by a RopeClimber chair or by a single Ropeclimber cradle. The davit is fixed to the roof with sockets installed permanently on the perimeter of the building. At the end of the work, the davit arm is dismantled and stored. The davit is made of an aluminum rotating jib and supported by two adjustable anchor points. It has anchor points for an abseiling rope and a safety rope, ensuring maximum security during use. An aluminum mast establishes the framework, while stainless steel sockets, anchored to the roof slab, serve as base. These davit sockets are designed with covers that can be closed when not in use. Additionally, the system incorporates stainless or galvanized steel sockets that can be affixed either on the wall or on a parapet.
