Kattsafe Davit Arm

The Kattsafe Davit Arm is designed as a cantilevered anchorage device. Used over balustrades, parapets, and curtain walls for rope access work where workers are required to maintain building facades and equipment mounted on the external face or structure. 

The Kattsafe Davit Arm is an engineered single-person device, designed to withstand a 12kN rope access load or safe working load of 400kg. The Davit Arm mostly connects to the primary structure of the building, which includes wall mount, floor mount, and concrete cast-in options, depending on the structure available and the intended use of the system.

The Kattsafe Davit Arm is used where there is a need to project an abseil rope out over the edge of a building without impacting the facade, parapet, or possibly a glass balustrade. Davit mounts are permanently fixed in place during construction and the davit arm is moved into position when required.
