Choosing davits and access frames for the application

Opening and reach
Provide the opening dimensions, required reach and photographs or drawings of the working area.
Mounting arrangement
Identify the existing base, socket or structure and provide dimensions where compatibility is required.
Complete system
Include details of the winch, fall-arrest or rescue equipment that will be used with the davit or frame.
