Reid LiftingDescription
The REID Lifting Porta Davit Quantum (1200mm Reach) redefines ultra-lightweight material handling and fall arrest protection. Weighing from just 18.5kg, this compact aluminium davit arm combines an incredible strength-to-weight ratio with a 600kg working capacity—giving UK engineers, utility operators, and site technicians unmatched lifting power in restricted locations.
🛠️ Dual-Capacity Standard: Engineered for versatility, the Quantum supports a 600kg Working Load Limit (WLL) for material handling and up to 300kg for personnel operations (personnel capacity varies depending on specific system setup and fall arrest configuration).

Key Benefits & Engineering Highlights
🪶 Unmatched Portability & Tool-Free Assembly
Engineered from high-grade 6082 T6 anodized aluminium, the Porta Davit Quantum can easily be carried to remote or elevated job sites by a single technician. Deployment requires zero tools—the davit secures into place using simple safety pin retention (one pin for stropped models, two pins for winched systems), dramatically speeding up setup times during emergency rescues or routine maintenance.
🔄 360° Full-Load Rotation
Featuring an advanced internal bearing design and a 65mm universal kingpin, the Quantum rotates smoothly through 360 degrees even under a full 600kg load. This fluid movement allows operators to safely position materials over open shafts, vessel hatches, or site obstacles with minimal effort.
🛡️ Weld-Free Design & Integrated Safety Features
Unlike traditional steel davits that risk fatigue at weld points, the Quantum uses a premium weld-free manufacturing process, dramatically extending operational lifespan and ensuring predictable structural behavior under tension. Additionally, an integrated overload indicator visually Alerts engineers if the arm has been subjected to excessive stress beyond its rated limit.
🌊 Marine-Grade Corrosion & ATEX Certified
The anodized aluminum chassis is resistant to chemical attack, salt water, and moisture—making it a clean, hygienic option for pharmaceutical clean rooms and harsh marine environments alike. Standard ATEX Zone 2 compliance ensures safe operation in potentially volatile gas or dust environments.
Primary Applications
