Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we pride ourselves on being able to provide our customers with high-quality, reliable products. That's why when someone wants to use our products to carry out a test we are more than happy to help. Recently, we were asked to carry out a davit arm test. A davit arm is used for recovery of personnel out at sea, so it's important that the crew are aware of exactly how much weight the davit arm on board can take.
The test was carried out on a davit arm that had recently been installed on a commercial rescue boat. We supplied 150kg of hand test weights and sling shackles so that a live load test could be conducted whilst the rip was on its mooring in Lymington Yacht Haven.
(20kg test weight)
The davit arm was successfully tested and we were all happy with the way it turned out!
If you have any questions about what you may need to test your equipment, we are more than happy to help. For any queries on any of the products, we supply feel free to contact our friendly team.

Working at height comes with a number of risks and it is of vital importance that you take all the safety precautions you can. A rescue block can be what saves you from falling and injuring yourself, as they protect you from falling to the ground when working at height. The synthetic rope or cable that is wrapped around the reel of the block works like a retractable lifeline, which suspends you in the air in the event of a fall.
All the rescue blocks we supply are designed to be reliable and effective. The last thing you want to do is doubt the quality of your height safety equipment, so we make sure you don't have to. The rescue blocks have a shock-absorbing system that prevents injury in the event of a fall. The high-quality materials used for each rescue block allow them to be used year after year, as the durable cables can withstand strain time after time without eroding or snapping.
Of course, you must be sure to choose a rescue block that suits your requirements, as each is a different size and has different restrictions. Luckily, our extensive range of blocks means we are confident you will be able to find the product you need.
