Description
Reid Lifting 2000kg PortaGantry (3900mm - 5500mm, 4570mm Beam): High-Reach, High-Capacity Portable Lifting
The Reid Lifting 2000kg PortaGantry, configured with its "Super Tall" A-frame and a 4570mm beam, delivers outstanding lifting capabilities for projects requiring both high reach and a wide span. This lightweight, manually assembled aluminium gantry system provides a safe and efficient solution for handling heavy loads and offers reliable fall protection, even in demanding environments.
Features
- 2000 kg (2 Tonne) Goods Lifting Capacity: Engineered to safely lift substantial loads up to 2,000 kg, making it perfectly suited for large equipment, machinery components, and bulk materials that need to be lifted to considerable heights.
- Exceptional Adjustable Height Range (3900mm - 5500mm): The "Super Tall" A-frame configuration provides an impressive height range for the lifting eye, from a minimum of 3,900 mm up to a maximum of 5,500 mm. This allows for precise positioning of loads at extreme elevations, adapting to varying site conditions and headroom requirements.
- Generous 4570mm (4.57m) Beam Length: The specified beam length provides a significant span, enabling the gantry to work effectively over wide obstacles, large openings, or to cover a broader area for material handling.
- Personnel Lifting & Fall Protection (WLL up to 1000kg / 5 Persons): Beyond goods lifting, this PortaGantry is certified for personnel lifting up to 1000 kg (depending on exact configuration) and serves as a reliable overhead anchor point for fall protection for up to 5 persons. This significantly enhances safety in work-at-height or confined space rescue scenarios.
- Lightweight Aluminium Construction: Expertly manufactured from high-grade aluminium, the PortaGantry is remarkably lightweight relative to its strength. This characteristic facilitates easy manual transport and assembly (often requiring only four bolts per A-frame), eliminating the need for heavy lifting equipment during setup.
- Manually Assembled in Minutes: Designed for rapid deployment, the system can be assembled by a small team quickly and efficiently, without the need for complex tools or specialized machinery, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
- EN795:2012 & ATEX Certified: Fully compliant with EN795:2012 standards for anchorage devices, ensuring the highest level of safety for fall protection. It is also ATEX certified (Zone 2 as standard, Zone 1 optional), making it suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
- Interchangeable Components: The A-frames and beams are modular and interchangeable within the PortaGantry range, offering excellent flexibility to reconfigure systems for diverse operational needs.
- Ergonomic 360° Swivel-Locking Castors: Equipped with high-quality, 360° swivel-locking castors as standard, enabling easy manoeuvrability around the workspace. Options for directional lock or pneumatic castors may also be available for specific terrain or operational needs.
- Anodised for Corrosion Resistance: The aluminium components are anodised, providing enhanced protection against corrosion and wear. This makes the gantry suitable for aggressive environments and facilitates easy cleaning, including for "clean room" applications.
- Integrated Ratchet Raise and Lower System: For safe and controlled height adjustment, a robust ratchet system is often integrated, allowing for precise raising and lowering of the gantry legs.
- Supplied with Masterlink Trolley: Typically comes complete with a Masterlink Trolley, ensuring compatibility and readiness for immediate use with a variety of lifting equipment (e.g., chain hoists, wire rope hoists).
Applications
The Reid Lifting 2000kg PortaGantry (3900mm - 5500mm, 4570mm Beam) is ideal for demanding applications requiring significant height and span:
- Large-Scale Construction & Infrastructure: Lifting and positioning heavy materials, large components, and structural elements on bridge projects, high-rise buildings, and complex civil engineering sites.
- Machinery Installation & Maintenance: Facilitating the installation, removal, and maintenance of large industrial machinery, pumps, motors, and other equipment in plants, factories, and utility facilities.
- Confined Space Entry & Rescue (High Clearance): Providing safe overhead anchorage for personnel access and retrieval in very deep pits, shafts, or large vessels.
- Water Treatment & Energy Sector: Supporting maintenance and equipment handling in water treatment works, power stations, and substations where height and span are critical.
- Aerospace & Manufacturing: Precision lifting and assembly of large components in controlled environments.
