Lightweight and easy to assemble

The T Davit for rope access is made from lightweight aluminium. Where traditional steel davit systems required heavy lifting and could be difficult to move and transport, being constructed from aluminium makes our Davits extremely easy to manipulate.

No tools are required to assemble the T Davit for rope access, and the operation can be completed simply and quickly by only two people. Consisting of only two movable parts, it can be easily assembled and dismantled to maximise efficiency. The time saved on setting up and transportation can often be vital, particularly in emergency rescue situations.

The lightweight construction and simple assembly of the T Davit for rope access makes it the perfect solution when you’re working at multiple locations. It is compact and easily fits into a standard sized van and can be transported from site to site for maximum time efficiency. Aluminium is also an environmentally friendly material which is 100% recyclable. By choosing an aluminium lifting device, you are doing your bit to reduce carbon emissions and protect the planet.
