Versatile and portable rope access systems, made for easy operation and maximum durability
Our davit and needle range is the result of decades of height safety expertise. By focusing on modularity and ease of transport, we have created a system that allows for rapid deployment without compromising on the extreme load-bearing requirements necessary for abseiling and facade work.
Modular, lightweight and easy to transport and set up by a two-person team in restricted areas.
Engineered for high load ratings for both rope access (suspension) and fall arrest applications.
Corrosion resistant. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium and galvanised steel for harsh Australian environments.
Fully compliant, tested and certified to meet Australian and New Zealand AS/NZS 1891 and AS/NZS 4488 standards.
Discreetly designed for minimal visual impact when not in use to preserve building aesthetics.
Enhanced efficiency and user-friendliness for maintenance crews
)
Fast deployment
Our modular components click into place, which reduces setup time and increases on-site productivity.
)
360-degree rotation
Many of our davit arms offer full rotation, allowing for safe equipment positioning and easier transitions over parapets.
)
Custom mounting solutions
Whether your structure requires floor, wall, or specialised parapet mounting, our systems integrate seamlessly into the building design.
