We can also offer customized sockets, which are bespoke made and developed for non-typical installations. To discuss your requirements with us, contact us.

Socket Extensions

Our socket extensions are designed to provide additional lift height or reach over obstacles, protective rails or walls for 2½" socket/kingpin davits. Made from lightweight aluminum alloy, with handles for lifting and carrying, they’re designed to be easy to use. Simply insert them into the existing socket and assemble a standard davit, as normal, using the extension as its socket.

Our socket extensions are available in three standard sizes:

  • 19¾"

  • 31½"

  • 43¼"

They can also be customized to meet our customers’ specific requirements.

Pedestals

Our pedestal sockets are similar to top mount sockets and are manufactured from lightweight aluminum. Our pedestals are designed to provide additional lift height or reach over obstacles, protective rails or walls.

We offer pedestals which are suitable for use with our 2½" kingpin davit range.

Our pedestals are available in three standard sizes:
