Davit Arm Inspection and Maintenance

A lightweight, portable and cost-effective solution for suspended Rope Access, mobile Davit Arms enable safe and comprehensive Façade Access for maintenance activities.

Davit Arm Systems used for Work at Height require compliance testing once every 6 months, dependent on frequency of use due to the load capacity they can support. This is due to the fact that a Davit Arm is a class A1 categorised system and should be tested in accordance with a range of standards including BS EN7985.

‏‏‎Heightsafe’s specialist team can also supply and install davit arm solutions for your structure anywhere in the UK.

Davit Arm Systems Features & Benefits

Davit Arms are commonly utilised to enable rope access technicians safe access to clean and maintain windows and façades. Due to the load capacity that this system can support it is a legal requirement to have them tested twice annually, dependant on frequency of use – this applies to temporary and permanent davits.

Offering a comprehensive inspection, testing and certification for all systems, Heightsafe’s specialists are the safe choice when it comes to work at height compliance.

As building design and legislation has changed through the years where work at height is concerned, many roof layouts are now more complex and safe access for maintenance is a challenge. To remain compliant with Work at Height regulations, most roofs now feature parapets, guardrails or balustrades of some description, making access more complex when abseil work is required – Davit Arms are the perfect solution.
