Lifts a tonne

capable of lifting a tonne in weight, is expected to create a splash with the water industry. The system designed, developed and manufactured inhouse by Reid Lifting, is designed to meet the rigorous requirements and stringent health and safety regime of the water industry.

The Porta-Davit is made from aluminum, can be carried and assembled by two people, lifted into embedded sockets on site and is ready for use within minutes. It can then be dismantled, cleaned and packed away ready for re-use.

It is designed for water and waste treatment plants where pumps, valves and filters need to be lifted for inspection on a regular basis.

The unit attracted considerable interest when it was previewed at Pollutec Horizon Paris in December.
