Ladder Extension Davit Kit for Fixed Ladders

KStrong® Ladder Extension Davit Kit for Fixed Ladders

The UFF516000 Ladder Extension Davit Kit is a critical fall protection component designed to eliminate the high-risk "transition gap" when moving from a fixed ladder to a raised working platform. By extending the safety line above the walking-working surface, this kit ensures that users remain 100% tied off throughout the entire climbing and exiting process. Built from rugged alloy steel with a protective black ED coating, this davit system is engineered for long-term outdoor durability and resistance to the elements. Its universal design allows it to be retrofitted to most industrial fixed ladders, providing a stable and secure anchorage point that meets stringent international safety standards.

Part Number: UFF516000

Safety & Structural Specifications

• Continuous Fall Protection: Allows workers to remain securely connected while transitioning over the top rung of a ladder onto a roof or platform.

• Universal Rung Compatibility: Specifically designed to fit ladder rungs ranging from Ø0.87” (22mm) to Ø1.73” (44mm) in diameter.

• Alloy Steel Construction: Fabricated from high-strength alloy steel to withstand the forces associated with fall arrest.

• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Features a black ED (Electro-Deposition) coating to protect against environmental wear, rust, and abrasion.

• Standard Compliance: Rigorously tested to meet or exceed EN 795:2012 Type A requirements for anchor devices.

• Heavy-Duty Build: Weighs approximately 30.31 lbs, providing a substantial and rigid anchor point for the user.

Common Applications

• Industrial Facility Maintenance: Ideal for rooftop access on factories, warehouses, and manufacturing plants.

• Telecommunications & Utilities: Provides a secure transition point for technicians climbing exterior ladders on towers or utility structures.

• Oil & Gas Refineries: A durable solution for accessing elevated catwalks and tanks in harsh industrial environments.

• Commercial Building Management: Ensures HVAC technicians and inspectors can safely step onto flat roof surfaces from fixed ladders.

• Water Treatment Facilities: Provides stable anchorage for personnel accessing raised basins and elevated walkways.

Installation Overview

The system is designed for a secure three-point attachment to the top rungs of the ladder:

1. Positioning: Hold the extension arm against the upper last three rungs of the ladder.

2. Primary Securement: Use the provided fisher plates and U-bolts to secure the top rung and the second rung from the top.

3. Final Anchor: On the third rung from the top, insert the U-bolt through the ladder rung and into the extension arm slot, tightening all nuts to ensure a rigid, immovable fit.
