On buildings with isolated strips such as stairwells or for roof-mounted applications where it is not possible to provide parapet protection, davits provide an economical, effective and extremely discrete anchor system. A typical davit comprises of a fixed base and upright with a rotating head. Alternatively a series of sockets can be provided allowing the davit to be moved from position to position.
When the system is not being used the head can be rotated through 180 degrees inboard of the parapet rendering it invisible from ground level. The rotating head also provides safe and easy access for the initial rigging of ropes.
Allowing for abseil, rescue / evacuation and material handling a davit arm can provide an elevated anchorage, with the ability to swing over the edge of the building and descend / ascend while not in contact with the building. For the rescue scenario Harcon Services davits can be supplied with recovery winches and powered retrieval systems.
