SpanSet Xtirpa angled manhole collar adapter

SpanSet Australia has developed a method of personnel entry, exit and rescue for tanks and vats located adjacent to elevated catwalks and walkways.

In order to satisfy the emergency provisions of AS1865 and the general ergonomic means of entry and egress during maintenance, companies were faced with significant engineering intervention and structural alterations to achieve compliance.

The development of SpanSet’s angled manhole davit collars, with the addition of stabiliser clamps, means that no engineering input is required and cost is thus reduced. Vessels with similar manhole diameters and angles can be covered by the same portable collar to which a certified davit can be inserted, giving an effective anchorage for entry and extraction gear.

Options for three different davit heights are available, including one for low headroom applications.
