A square davit socket pedestal sits atop a structural steel beam, supported by three-eighths-inch stiffener plates on each side welded to the beam flanges and webs with quarter-inch fillet welds. A three-quarter-inch by twelve-inch square minimum base plate distributes the load, while the connection to the beam flanges utilizes a three-eighths-inch weld. The structural assembly accommodates a maximum davit reach of twelve feet and a maximum capacity of 4,000 pounds under Load and Resistance Factor Design.
