What does safe working load mean?
Our davits our rated to a safe working load that is well below their tested maximum capacity. This means that we test our davits beyond what we ultimately rate them at because we know that there is a lot of extra load when your boat is on the water. Make sure that any davit system that you are considering quotes only a safe working load and is not simply the useless maximum capacity that many other davit manufacturers use. Other manufacturers tubing is not stronger than ours, not only because the unique way that we produce our products, but in the fact that the wall is reduced during their bending process.
