Who Needs This Product
Facilities that need adjustable-reach access over portals, edges, and offset openings use a davit system where a tripod cannot fit or cannot reach. Davit arms pair with portable or fixed bases, which lets one arm serve many locations across a plant, and the offset reach places the anchor point directly over the work.
