3M™ DBI-SALA® Advanced™ Rescue Davit System with 50 ft. Technora® Rope Winch – Mfg. #8302500

Product Overview

The 3M™ DBI-SALA® Advanced™ Rescue Davit System with 50 ft. Technora® Rope Winch (8302500) is a complete portable rescue solution designed to provide dependable rescue, retrieval, and controlled descent capabilities for confined space operations.

The system consists of a two-piece aluminum davit with a folding quad-pod base and a manually operated rescue winch equipped with 50 feet of 1/4-inch Technora® 12-strand synthetic rope. The lightweight aluminum construction offers excellent corrosion resistance while remaining easy to transport and assemble in the field.

Unlike permanent fixed anchorage systems, the Advanced Rescue Davit System is freestanding and requires no special tools for setup. Self-leveling feet provide stability on uneven surfaces, while the 360-degree pivoting arm allows rescuers to rotate an entrant safely away from the opening before lowering them to a secure location.

The included rescue winch features a 5.1:1 mechanical advantage, a permanent fold-away crank handle, and a synthetic Technora® rope that helps reduce concerns associated with electrical conductivity and sparking in certain work environments. This makes the system well suited for wastewater treatment facilities, utilities, industrial maintenance, refineries, chemical processing plants, and other confined space rescue applications.
