SkyDavit arm

SkyDavit Arm from Fallprotec is a demountable davit arm for hanging work during maintenance and cleaning of façades. The lightweight design can be removed after completion of the work, while the fixed bases remain along the building’s roof edge for future use.

SkyDavit consists of a rotating arm and aluminum mast that is connected to permanently installed bases. The system can be used by repair technicians as well as together with the RopeClimber chair or the RopeClimber work basket for one person. Separate anchoring points are available for rigging ropes and safety ropes. The davit arm can be tilted at the base for safer and more ergonomic mounting. Bases are available in various heights and designs and can be mounted on a roof, wall, or at a guardrail.

Areas of use

SkyDavit Arm is used for repair work and suspended access during facade maintenance at airports, hospitals, commercial buildings and high-rise buildings, among other places. The system can also be used for work in courtyards, atriums and confined spaces.
