Swing Stage

Permanent Installation

Davits are designed to support temporary or permanently suspended access equipment. These rigging devices can be designed to a variety of sizes depending on parapet wall heights, jobsite conditions and access needs. Top rotating davits allow for roof-launched platforms while bottom rotating allow for ground-rigged platforms to reduce the overall davit height. We offer all of the following davits and accessories:

  • Bottom RotatingDavits
  • Top RotatingDavits
  • Pedestals
  • Pedestal Adapters
  • Sockets
  • Rolling Carriages

Outriggers are an alternative option for supporting suspended access equipment. Transportable outrigger beams can be epositioned where needed on a building and secured to permanent stands or anchors.

Back-fed outriggers allow the suspension wire rope(s) to be secured to the rear portion of the beam and fed through the beam to the ground. Push-thru our triggers slide through stands in the wall providing access to a building’s façade. We offer all of the following types of outriggers and rigging sleeves:

  • Transportable Tie-Down Outrigger/Beam
  • Push-Thru Outrigger/Beam
  • Fixed Outrigger/Beam
  • Back-fed Outrigger/Beam
  • Back-fed Outrigger/Beam
  • Rigging Sleeve “Pigeon Hole”

Designed to provide a secure tie-off for personal fall protection equipment or as an anchorage for tying back rigging equipment for suspended scaffold. These anchors can be temporarily or permanently installed and are securely attached to the structure allowing the load to be transferred directly into the building/structure. Anchors can be bolted into concrete, flange bolted to the structure or embedded into the concrete when poured during construction. (Anchors can be fabricated to meet California code(s)). We offer all of the following anchors:

  • Roof Anchors
  • Wall Anchors
  • Flush Anchors
