Reid LiftingDescription
The Reid Lifting Porta Davit Quantum (1500mm Extended Reach) is an ultra-lightweight, high-capacity portable davit crane designed for challenging access points and wide operational envelopes. Weighing from just 19 kg, this single-operator system delivers a maximum 500 kg Goods WLL and an extended 1500 mm radius reach, making it the ultimate lifting solution for utility work, confined space access, and complex industrial maintenance.
Dual-Rated Versatility: Built to handle both equipment and human life safety. Provides up to 500 kg Working Load Limit for Goods or 250 kg for Personnel Lifting / Fall Arrest (1 person, EN795:2012 Type B compliant).
Key Features & Operational Advantages
1500mm Extended Reach & Adjustable Radius
The hallmark feature of this Quantum model is its generous 1500 mm working radius. Designed to clear wide parapets, large manholes, sumps, and structural obstructions, it allows operators to set up safely away from the edge while maintaining full control over the load.
Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Weighing as little as 19 kg (stropped configuration), the Quantum is crafted from high-grade anodized 6082 T6 structural aluminium. Its foldable frame features an ergonomic integrated carry handle, enabling rapid transport by a single technician into remote or restrictive work sites.
360° Smooth Rotation Under Load
Featuring a 65mm universal kingpin and an advanced internal bearing design, the crane rotates a full 360 degrees under full load. This ensures effortless positioning of heavy pumps or personnel without strain.
Tool-Free Rapid Deployment
Setup is completed in seconds using a simple 1-pin assembly (2 pins for winched variants). Eliminating loose parts and complex tools drastically cuts site prep time and lowers manual handling risks.
ATEX Rated & Marine-Corrosion Resistant
The hard-anodized finish provides superior resistance against saltwater spray, industrial chemicals, and harsh weather. Standard models are ATEX Zone 2 certified for safe use in explosive atmospheres (Zone 1 configuration available upon request).

Primary Industry Applications
-
Confined Space Entry & Manhole Access: The 1500mm reach easily covers wide vault openings, deep sewer chambers, and large storage tanks, offering safe over-the-center positioning for winches and retrieval blocks.
-
Water & Wastewater Management: Essential for pulling large submersible pumps, heavy flow meters, and gate valves out of wide sumps where standard short-reach davits cannot clear the structure.
-
Offshore, Marine & Energy: Engineered for salt-air resilience; ideal for engine room overhauls, dockside rigging, and wellhead maintenance on oil & gas platforms requiring ATEX safety compliance.
-
Rooftop & Building Maintenance: Safely lifts machinery, HVAC components, and facade cleaning gear over parapets, raised edges, and architectural barriers.
-
Civil Engineering & Infrastructure: Provides temporary, reliable lifting power across trench excavations, bridge inspections, and subterranean utility vaults.
Socket & Mounting Compatibility
The Porta Davit Quantum 1500mm utilizes REID Lifting’s standard 65mm kingpin system, making it fully compatible with:
-
Top-Mount, Side-Mount, and Flush-Cast Sockets
-
Bridge-Mount and Resin-Bonded Anchor Bases
-
PORTABASE Counterbalance Systems for zero-penetration, temporary lifting installations
