Rotational Handle
A rotational handle can be fitted to the column of
the Davit to aid rotation underload. Dependent
on the load lifted, users can experience a range
of efforts.
To ease some of the higher efforts, as well as
using the handle, users can attach a rope to the
front shackles in the head of the davit to support
the rotation.
The rotation should be done in a controlled
manner.
