FrenchCreek PD1 Portable Davit Mast Assembly – 12–30 in. Adjustable Reach
The FrenchCreek PD1 Davit Mast Assembly is the central mast component of the FrenchCreek Portable Davit System, providing an adjustable overhead anchorage and equipment-mounting platform for confined-space entry, retrieval, rescue, and routine work.
The PD1 features telescoping adjustment from 12 to 30 inches of offset reach, allowing the mast to be positioned over a variety of confined-space openings. Primary and secondary pulleys accommodate multiple devices, while multiple mechanical-unit attachment points support compatible FrenchCreek rescue and work equipment.
The swiveling mast design lets the system rotate away from the opening to support worker exit and rescue operations. The PD1 can be paired with FrenchCreek portable or permanently installed davit bases, allowing the same mast assembly to be used across multiple confined-space applications.
