Davit Carriages with Powered Platforms & Track

Powered davit carriage building maintenance units are designed for low, mid and high-rise buildings. The equipment suits applications where the labor-intensive operation of moving portable davits from location to location must be overcome. Davit carriages are capable of servicing buildings with heights of up to 650 ft. (200 m).

Standard davit carriages are supplied with TRACMOD powered work platforms and have typical lengths of 20 ft. to 30 ft. (6 m to 9 m), and a maximum length of 40 ft. (13 m) These machines offer a mid-range solution between portable davit systems and roofcars.


The installation consists of:

  • powered traversing davit carriage(s), each with a davit mast and manually rotating davit boom.
  • a TRACMOD work platform suspended from the davit boom(s) by four independent galvanized steel wire ropes.
  • I-beam or dual pipe track for traversing.

Davit carriages can be used in pairs with longer powered platforms or alone to suspend a single man basket. Carriages traverse to the required drop locations powered by electrical motors operated at the roof level with a pedant control.

The platform is launched over the parapet using the conventional manual davit system method. Like typical davit systems, the mast can be lowered out of view when not in use.


The TRACMOD powered platform is fitted with the latest in TIRAK® hoisting systems, with all code-required safety features fully integrated. Extensive use of corrosion-resistant materials and robust construction ensures reliability and long life. Systems are available with 2-wire suspension or 4-wire suspension. The use of our patented modular platform concept allows the platform length to be adapted to suit various building modules.
