TDavit Rope Access | 3

The dual anchorage points positioned on the rear of the column are specifically designed to support both the working line and safety line required during rope access operations. By allowing both lines to be installed at the same working angle, the system provides a safer and more efficient rope access setup.

Maintaining consistent line angles helps reduce potential swing and side-loading forces that can occur during an emergency event, such as the failure of the primary working line. This enhances user safety while supporting compliance with rope access best practices, which require the safety line to be connected to an independent anchorage point.

Through its integrated dual-anchor design, the Reid TDavit Rope Access range simplifies system setup, improves operational efficiency, and provides operators with greater confidence when carrying out critical work-at-height activities.

This additional security feature provides a positive means of securing the davit within its socket, ensuring it cannot be removed without completing two deliberate and consecutive actions. By preventing accidental or unintended release caused by incorrect operation, the system helps maintain the integrity of the installation throughout use.

Designed to enhance operator safety and confidence, this feature provides added assurance that the davit will remain securely engaged within the socket during lifting, lowering, and rescue operations. The result is a safer, more reliable system that reduces the risk of user error and supports compliance with best practices for work-at-height and lifting applications.

The double integrated sheaves on the TDavit Rope Access range are designed to keep the working line and safety line separate, providing improved rope management and a more organised rope access setup. By maintaining clear line separation, the system helps minimise the risk of ropes crossing, twisting, or becoming tangled, improving both operational efficiency and user safety.

The sheaves also guide ropes smoothly through the system, eliminating contact with sharp edges that can accelerate wear over time. This helps prolong rope service life, reduce replacement costs, and maintain consistent performance throughout demanding rope access operations.

By improving rope management, enhancing safety, and extending the lifespan of critical equipment, the double integrated sheave design delivers a more reliable and efficient solution for professional rope access applications.

An EN795 compliant anchorage point positioned between the davit head cheek plates provides an elevated attachment point for fall arrest systems, supporting safe user transitions and enabling a second person to connect when required.

By integrating multiple anchorage points into a single system, the TDavit simplifies setup, reduces the need for additional equipment, and provides greater flexibility for rope access, rescue, and fall protection applications.

The Reid kingpin system delivers smooth, controlled 360° rotation under load, allowing rope access technicians to position themselves accurately and efficiently throughout an operation.

By reducing the effort required to move into the desired working position, smooth rotation helps improve operator comfort and productivity, particularly during longer or more complex tasks. It also enables users to remain more directly below the davit, helping to minimise swing potential and providing greater control when working at height.

The result is a safer, more efficient rope access system that enhances manoeuvrability, improves positioning accuracy, and gives operators greater confidence during critical operations.

The TDavit Rope Access range, have been designed from the ground up for exceptional durability and a long service life. A key part of this design is the elimination of welded joints. This not only makes the unit lighter and easier to transport in many applications, but also removes the need for costly, time-consuming weld inspections and significantly reduces the potential for failure points to develop later in the product’s life cycle.
