Abstract
An extendable needle davit assembly has an extendable beam comprising a fixed beam portion, and a telescopic beam portion slidably receivable within a distal end of the fixed beam portion. An intermediate lateral bracing frame holds the extendable beam at an angle. The fixed beam portion is a single-piece construction, and a proximal end of the fixed beam portion is anchored. An upper end of the bracing frame is attached to a distal attachment point of the fixed beam portion, such that a distal portion of the fixed beam portion extends beyond the bracing frame. A lower portion of the bracing frame is attached to a proximal attachment point of the fixed beam portion by means of a rear brace.
