3M DBI-SALA Davit Arm 8518382 Single Fixed Davit Mast

The 3M DBI-SALA Davit Arm 8518382 is a single fixed davit mast for confined-space lifting and rescue systems. The premium steel mast mounts on a permanently installed base at a manhole, vessel or silo entry, giving an overhead point to hang a winch, hoist or rescue line. It is rated for 158 kg (350 lb) lifting and 4.5 kN (1,000 lb) fall arrest.

Overview

Without a fixed davit, a plant with many access points has to carry a portable tripod to each one — costly to equip and slow to set up before every rescue shift. A permanently mounted Davit Arm is always in place at the entry point, so the team simply fits the winch or lifeline and begins work, saving time when it matters most.

Key features and benefits

• Fixed, always-ready installation: mounts to a permanently anchored base at the access point, with no daily setup.
• Dual rated: 158 kg (350 lb) lifting capacity and 4.5 kN (1,000 lb) fall-arrest rating.
• Premium steel construction: strong and corrosion-resistant for long service.
• Overhead anchor point: supports winches, hoists and rescue self-retracting lifelines.
• Modular system: part of the DBI-SALA confined-space davit range of bases, offsets and accessories.
