Spider Davit Systems
Spider davits are a safe and practical permanent suspension system when used in combination with a Spider self-powered platform (work platform mounted with either traction hoists or drum hoists). Constructed of high strength aluminum alloy,
Spider Davit Systems boast a patented aluminum extrusion
that is both light weight and strong.
Spider Socket Systems
Socket systems are galvanized steel embeds fixed to a building’s structure, welded or bolted, to provide safe and convenient rigging locations for Spider Davits.
Socket systems are generally exposed above the roof surface, but also can be recessed below pavers where a public space demands an aesthetic solution.
These systems are most effective in the following conditions:
- The maximum outreach required for façade access does not exceed 102 inches.
- The building design has multiple levels (terraces,
roof levels, etc.)
- Platforms lengths can exceed 20 feet.
- Building elevation is less than 490 feet.
