Unlike outriggers, a davit reacts its operating moment load into a single pedestal, socket, carriage attachment, or other connection. dropline: a vertical line from a fixed anchorage, indepen- dent of the work platform and its rigging, to which a lanyard is affixed. Droplines are also variously called lifelines, safety lines, ratlines, scarelines, etc. dynamic load: loading induced by masses undergoing changes in velocity and loads varying with time. In application, a simulated static load surcharge may be assumed to be equivalent to dynamic effects.
