At its most basic, a davit is a crane-like device that’s ideal for applications where a suspended load needs to be supported.

While davit systems are commonly used for naval applications, such as raising/lowering lifeboats and anchors, they are also extremely useful in the construction industry.

Davit systems are particularly handy for underground access and supporting suspension equipment over the edge of a building.
