Portable Counterweight Davit System

Full Description

The Tuff Built 30073 Counterweight System is the premier choice for tasks requiring a non-penetrating anchorage point. Designed for use on roof-tops, finished floors, or in environments where drilling into the substrate is not permitted, this system provides a secure fall arrest and rescue platform using a modular weight-plate design. The assembly includes the 30105 Large Upper Arm and 30109 Lower Mast, creating a high-clearance davit that clears obstacles with ease. At PQS Survey Ltd, we specialise in the hire and sale of these mobile systems for internal maintenance and sensitive access projects. The base features independently adjustable levelling feet to ensure the davit mast remains perfectly vertical on uneven or sloped surfaces. Despite its heavy-duty rating, the system is fully modular; it can be disassembled into manageable components for transport through standard doorways or up ladders, providing a flexible and safe work environment for your personnel.
