Window Washing Rigging Sleeves

Horizontal and vertical rigging sleeves are designed to provide access through architectural features to façade that would be inaccessible with more conventional davit assembly rigging. Horizontal rigging sleeves provide access over or through exterior walls. Whereas as davit assembly is built as a single component with a vertical mast and a horizontal boom that must hinge or tilt into position, a horizontal rigging sleeve can be designed with one or two vertical posts that support a portable horizontal sleeve. The benefit to this approach is that the horizontal sleeve is more typically lighter weight and more portable than a davit assembly. This can be particularly advantageous when there is not sufficient space or access to hinge a davit assembly in position, the rigging sleeve can be more readily engaged. For very tall exterior screen walls with glass below, rigging sleeves can potentially be integrated for access through the wall rather than incorporating catwalks or high profile permanently installed davit assemblies. Our standard product offerings with one or two posts, to include permanently installed or portable vertical posts, can be customized to suit project needs.
