DBI 8510140 Advanced Vehicle Hitch Mount Sleeve

DBI 8510140 Hitch Mount Sleeve

 

The DBI 8510140 Hitch mount sleeve is a tremendous product. It is very popular with our utility customers. The hitch mount sleeve provides a mounting point for almost any of the Advanced Confined Space Retrieval products. The hitch mount sleeve will fit your vehicle if you a square tube receiver hitch. You can have a safe and secure anchor point as close as your back bumper!

 

The vehicle hitch mount sleeve is made of zinc-plated steel. It accommodates a 29” maximum offset mast, such as the Advanced 1 Piece 12-29 Inch Adjustable Offset Mast. A powder coated aluminum stabilizer bar helps to resist movement from side-to-side. The hitch mount unit is designed to slide into a 2” hitch receiver on an attendant vehicle where it is secured with a detent pin. No tools required!

 

This provides a portable anchor point for confined space entry, retrieval, rescue and fall arrest systems. Typical applications include lowering and raising equipment and personnel in locations like remote pumping stations or underground vaults. The more distinctive uses we have seen include rescue and retrieval over the side of a bridge, or even at the edge of a settling pond.

 

Unlike a Confined Space Tripod, or even the Advanced 5-Piece Hoist System,  you have a portable anchor point right at the edge of wherever your vehicle can take you. That is what makes this system so unique. Our customers love having a man-rated davit arm extending out into space, right where they need it. Use your imagination to see where this system might have saved you time or even made the access a little safer.

 

To accommodate your specific work environment, this Advanced system has many available accessories that extend the usable terrain on which you can safely operate. If you look on our website, you will find a variety of sockets, extensions and accessories are available to make the sleeve more versatile.
