Reid Lifting T Davit WIth Shackles | 500 kg Swl (Material) and 250 kg Swl (Personnel)

The Reid Lifting 500 kg SWL T Davit Shackled is an advanced, highly portable, and incredibly robust lifting solution, specifically designed for demanding applications where both significant lifting capacity and ease of deployment are paramount. Constructed from high-grade, lightweight aluminium, this davit system offers an impressive 500 kg Safe Working Load (SWL) for goods, while also being certified for personnel lifting (up to 250 kg) and fall arrest for one user. Its "shackled" configuration makes it ideally suited for direct attachment of hoists and other lifting accessories via robust shackles, enhancing its versatility and adaptability in the field.

Key Benefits:

• Exceptional Portability & Lightweight Design: Engineered from advanced aluminium alloys, the 500 kg T Davit is remarkably lightweight, allowing for easy transportation and swift, tool-free assembly by a single individual. Its two-piece construction further aids convenient storage and handling, significantly reducing manual handling risks.
• High Lifting Capacity with Shackled Advantage: With a substantial 500 kg SWL for goods, this T Davit model excels in handling heavier loads. The integrated shackled head provides direct, secure attachment points for manual or electric chain hoists, wire rope hoists, and other lifting accessories, streamlining setup and operation.
• 360° Rotation Under Load: Featuring a patented integrated bearing system, the T Davit allows for full 360-degree rotation even under its maximum rated load. This critical feature provides unparalleled flexibility, enabling precise load positioning in congested or otherwise challenging environments.
• Versatile Functionality: Goods, Personnel & Fall Arrest: This davit is a true multi-tasker. It is certified for safe goods lifting, personnel lifting (up to 250kg WLL), and provides a reliable anchor point for one person for fall arrest applications, ensuring comprehensive safety across various tasks.
• Corrosion Resistance & Durability: The clean, anodised finish provides superior protection against corrosion, making the 500 kg T Davit highly durable and suitable for use in harsh, outdoor, or chemically aggressive environments, ensuring a long operational lifespan.
• Rapid Deployment & Operation: The intuitive design ensures quick, tool-free assembly, drastically cutting down on setup time and increasing overall operational efficiency, which is vital in emergency or time-sensitive situations.
• Certified Safety & Compliance: The T Davit Shackled is rigorously tested and certified to international safety standards, including EN795:2012 and often meeting IRATA ICOP and ATEX Zone 2 standards (with Zone 1 as an option), providing peace of mind regarding its reliability and adherence to strict safety protocols.
• Adaptable Configuration: Available with various column heights and beam reach options, the T Davit can be tailored to meet specific site requirements and lifting radii, ensuring an optimal solution for diverse applications.

Advantages:

• Enhanced Safety: The inclusion of multiple safety certifications and robust shackle points ensures maximum safety for both equipment and personnel during lifting and confined space operations.
• Reduced Operational Costs: Its versatility means one T Davit can replace several dedicated lifting solutions, leading to significant savings in equipment procurement, maintenance, and storage.
• Improved Access to Confined & Awkward Spaces: The portable nature, compact footprint, and 360° rotation allow the 500 kg T Davit to operate effectively in areas where traditional cranes or fixed lifting systems cannot be deployed.
• Increased Productivity: Quick assembly and ease of use minimise downtime, allowing workforces to operate more efficiently and complete tasks faster.
• Long-Term Reliability: Built to withstand rigorous industrial use, the T Davit offers exceptional durability and a low maintenance profile, guaranteeing years of trouble-free performance.

Industries & Critical Applications:

The Reid Lifting 500 kg SWL T Davit Shackled is an essential piece of equipment across a wide range of industries, particularly where heavy loads, restricted access, and high safety standards converge.

• Water & Wastewater Management: Critical for the maintenance of pumping stations, valve chambers, clarifiers, and underground infrastructure. It's used for lifting heavy submersible pumps, large valves, screening equipment, and for safe personnel entry and rescue from deep manholes or sumps.
• Oil & Gas (Onshore & Offshore): Indispensable for equipment installation and maintenance in hazardous and confined areas on rigs, platforms, refineries, and processing plants. Its ATEX certification (where applicable) is crucial for operations in potentially explosive atmospheres, facilitating the safe handling of tools and components in high-risk zones.
• Marine & Shipbuilding: Utilised for engine room maintenance, cargo handling on smaller vessels, equipment transfer during refits, and emergency rescue operations on docks, jetties, and offshore structures.
• Confined Space Entry & Rescue: A vital asset for emergency services and industrial teams conducting confined space entries into tanks, silos, culverts, or pits, enabling the safe lowering and retrieval of personnel and rescue equipment.
• Telecommunications & Utilities: Supports the installation and maintenance of heavy communication equipment on towers, masts, and in deep underground cable vaults.
• HVAC & Facilities Management: Ideal for lifting and positioning heavy HVAC units, generators, and other plant room machinery in tight spaces, rooftops, or basements of commercial and industrial buildings.
• Heavy Industrial Maintenance: Used for servicing large machinery, replacing heavy components, and facilitating material flow in various manufacturing plants, particularly where an overhead crane is impractical.
• Civil Engineering & Construction: Valuable for lifting heavy materials, tools, and structural components in challenging construction environments, including bridge maintenance, trench work, and basement construction.
• Rope Access & Inspection: For certain configurations, it serves as a secure and certified anchor point for rope access technicians performing inspections or maintenance on tall structures, offering crucial support for working and safety lines.
