Davit Systems
Davit Sockets | Davit Arms
Rapidly becoming one of the most modern, safe and cost-effective approaches to working at height, rope access allows skilled technicians to reach restricted areas without the need for heavy plant or scaffolding.
Davit systems are an anchorage system designed with an outreaching jib to provide clear access over the side of the building or structure to prevent rope loads impacting the surrounding structure.
The typically consist of a permanently fixed davit socket to the structure and used in conjunction with a removable Davit arm. Sometimes Davits are designed in one piece and its also possible to use freestanding counterweighted davit arms. They can be used for Rope Access, Fall Arrest purposes when used around man holes and even for material lifting to hoist items such as pumps from underground wells.
Most commonly they are installed around the inside edge of rooftops providing safe access up and over glazed balustrades for window cleaning and maintenance purposes. They are utilised in many sectors and applications from high rise buildings to water treatment sites.

Rope Access Posts (Abseil Anchor Posts)
Rope Access Posts | Abseil Anchors | Rigid Anchor Posts
Rope Access Posts are an anchorage system designed for suspended access whereby the rope load on the parapet or edge details are not of a concern. They are possibly the most relied upon anchorage system for rope access and are well established as a preferred industry standard amongst the Rope Access technicians.
They typically consist of a permanently fixed post to the structure complete with 1, 2 or more anchorage rings depending on the application. They can be used for Rope Access and Fall Arrest purposes.
Most commonly they are installed around the inside edge of rooftops providing safe access up and over parapets for window cleaning and maintenance purposes.

Horizontal Track Systems
Horizontal Track Systems | Monorails | Abseil Rail
Horizontal Track Systems / Abseil Rails / Monorails etc are an anchorage system designed for suspended access whereby the track is permanently fixed in place and the user traverses the track using wheeled carriages. They are a popular anchorage system for façade access as the user can quickly traverse the perimeter of the building and it leaves the roof area clear for terraces and plant etc.
They typically consist of a permanently fixed rail to the underneath or outside of the structure complete with mobile wheeled carriages which the operative will connect to. They can be used for Rope Access and are also effectively used for Fall Arrest / Fall restraint purposes due to the rigid nature of the track and ability to provide no deflection during Fall Arrest and can often be found in train depots and warehouses when working o top of vehicles when only a small ground clearance.
