Key Performance Advantages
Maximum Lifting Power in a Portable Package
Engineered as the highest-capacity model in the T Davit series, this 600kg variant tackles heavy industrial loads while remaining light enough to be carried, erected, and operated by a single technician without additional tools.
Unrestricted 360° Swivel Under Full Load
Built with Reid’s patented internal bearing layout, the arm rotates smoothly through a full 360 degrees even under its maximum load capacity. This precise movement makes load positioning effortless, particularly over open shafts, vessel hatches, or tight plant room barriers.
Fully Dual-Rated for Personnel & Materials
Eliminate the need for separate equipment across your site. This unit serves as both a heavy-duty materials crane and an EN795-certified anchor point for man-riding, confined space entry, or retrieval operations.
Marine-Grade Corrosion Protection & ATEX Compliance
Anodized surface treatment safeguards the aluminium structure against saltwater spray, aggressive atmospheric pollutants, and industrial chemicals. Standard ATEX Zone 2 rating (Zone 1 available) ensures safe deployment in hazardous, gas-rich environments.
Primary Applications & Sector Use
-
Water Treatment & Public Utilities: Safely pull heavy submersible pumps, agitators, and filter packs from deep sumps or pumping station wet wells.
-
Oil, Gas & Petrochemical: Reliable component lifting and confined space rescue anchor for offshore platforms, refineries, and chemical storage facilities requiring ATEX safety.
-
Marine Operations & Dockyards: Ideal for engine room equipment overhaul, deck-side cargo transfers, and vessel maintenance in saltwater conditions.
-
Heavy Manufacturing & Industrial Plant: Lower heavy gear, drives, and motors into confined basements or overhead plant decks where fixed gantry systems cannot be fitted.
-
Civil Engineering & Tunnelling: Portable anchor solution for shaft access, trench clearance, and deep infrastructure repair tasks.
