extreme working conditions. If used in sub-
zero and wet conditions, fall arrest appliances
characteristics may change.
Notes for Correct Operation
For winched variants, each of the product’s
three sheaves have been designed to work
specifically with the rope materials and
diameters detailed below:
It is important to ensure that the correct
sheave is being used to prevent pinching or
squashing of the rope
We recommend the use of load-sensing or
overload protection devices on all lifts
The risk assessment and method statement
must consider any factors that might apply
additional loading to the system during lifting
operations
Suitable, appropriately rated winches and
connection plates must be used for all
applications
Take care when transporting and storing the
system to avoid damage
Assemble only as instructed (ensure all
bolts are present and fitted correctly as per
instructions
We recommend that gloves are worn when
using the equipment
Attach the hoist to the dedicated lifting point
only, making sure it is attached in a way that
does not expose the user to danger by the
hoist, chain or load
Do not allow the load to swing
Only attach the load to the lifting points on the
head or winch line
Contact your supplier before using the davit
in (special atmospheres) extreme conditions
To avoid side pull, lowering and lifting should
only be carried out when the load chain forms
a straight and vertical line between the load
and lifting attachment point. (Refer to figure A)
Do not assemble the davit in any non-
approved socket
Make sure that the kingpin shaft is correctly
seated in the socket before use
Do not use this product if it does not rotate
freely in the bearing or if the bottom flange
is fouled in any way that prevents that free
rotation
Do not knot or shorten the tension strap to
reduce the operating radius
Always ensure that the product is set up in
its mounting socket in a safe location where
there is no risk of falling into the hazard or lift
area
Intended Use
This product is intended to be used for; the lifting
of goods, the lifting of personnel, rope access, or
providing a safety anchor for the prevention of falls.
It is expected that all users of this product have the
necessary medical and physical capabilities, are fully
trained and competent in its safe assembly and use.
Inspection Prior to Initial Operation
Each product must be inspected prior to initial
operation by a competent person to ensure that the
structure is safe and that it has not been damaged
by incorrect assembly, transport or storage.
Inspection Before Starting Work
Before starting work, the product assembly and
all load-bearing components should be checked
for visual defects as per the inspection checklist on
page 8.
Correct Operation
Maximum Capacity
Goods Lifting: This product is designed to lift
and lower loads up to its rated capacity. Do not
exceed the capacity indicated on the product.
Personnel Lifting: When lifting people, the
overall load limit is reduced by half to provide an
increased safety factor. The maximum capacity
permitted by the personnel winch/accessory used
in conjunction with the product also needs to be
taken into account.
Only chain hoists with a capacity of up to 1000kg
are suitable for this davit. The structure has been
designed to take into account the weight of
a standard chain block but, if a device with a
significant additional weight is being used, then
this needs to be included within the overall
capacity. Care should also be taken when using
any lifting device other than a manual chain
hoist in case the dynamic effects of this reduce
the overall capacity of the davit. REID Lifting’s
representatives can provide additional advice on
this if required.
The table below gives the maximum WLL and
radius for each of the standard models.
Please be aware that the maximum radius
is achieved when the davit is being used at
approximately 75% of its maximum capacity.

Fall Protection
When being used as part of a fall protection
system the user must use a body harness and
retractable device or shock absorber to EN355 that
limits the maximum allowed force (M.A.F.) to 6kN.
Winches used with the system should comply to
EN1496:2017 or equivalent.
In the event of simultaneous goods and personnel
combined lifting or when being used as a fall
arrest system in sub-zero and wet conditions
contact the supplier as capacities may be reduced.
While this product will have the capabilities stated
on it, it is only one part of a fall arrest system which
is only as strong as the lowest rated component.
Each lift must be properly planned, and all
weights clearly known along with the WLL and
constraints of all fall arrest system devices.
Additional Notes for Correct Operation
Ensure suitable and appropriately rated
winches and connection plates are used for all
applications
Never walk away from the structure whilst
connected to the equipment (either by winch
or fall arrest block)
When using the davit as a fall arrest anchor,
ensure there is adequate fall clearance when
working at height
Always consider the potential effects of
sharp edges, chemical reagents, electrical
conductivity, cutting, abrasion, climatic
exposure on the fall protection lifelines,
and the effect of offset forces as a result of
pendulum falls
When being used for fall protection, the
user must remain within the footprint of this
product
Where regulations require, each installation
must be approved by a qualified person
Warning
When using the Davit in conjunction with any
other manufacturer’s fall protection products,
it is essential to read the instructions for
those products to check their suitability and
restrictions for use
REID Lifting does not recommend that the
davit is used for personnel and goods lifting at

PORTADAVIT QUANTUM
The following information is based on REID
Lifting’s recommendations and does not remove
the responsibility of the user to comply with the
relevant regulations and standards that are valid
in the respective countries and regions where the
system is being used.
Before use, the product should be inspected for
visual defects using the checklist below:
Ensure that the kingpin, column, jib and
backstay are free from dents and indentations
and are not showing any signs of distortion
Check that there is no elongation of the beam
holes and that the inserts have not become
loose.
Make sure that the telescopic jib section retracts
fully and that the holes line up so that the pin
can be fully inserted. If either of these functions
are affected, it may be a sign that the device
has been overloaded.
Ensure that there is no damage to the shackles
or polyester strop. (REID recommends
replacing the strop if there are any signs of
damage, fraying, UV degradation or wear)
Make sure that the sheaves rotate freely and
that there is no visible damage
Ensure that no bolts are loose
Check any brackets or attachments for signs of
damage.
Test the free rotation of the kingpin and ensure
that it is fully engaged in the socket. The lower
bearing at the bottom of the column needs to be
flush with the top of the socket.
Regular Inspections
To ensure that the product’s remains in safe
working order it must be inspected regularly by a
competent person. We recommend inspections
every 6 months for personnel lifting and every 12
months for goods only, unless adverse working
conditions or profile of use dictate shorter
periods. The components of the system frame
need to be checked for damage, wear, corrosion
or other irregularities. It may be necessary to
disassemble the system frame in order to do this.
Particular attention should be paid to checking the
profiles for denting, making sure there is no wear
or elongation on the bolt holes and ensuring that
the jib section retracts smoothly.
Any necessary repairs should only be carried
out by an approved specialist workshop using
original spare parts. It is recommended that once
inspected or repaired, the device is marked with
the date of the next inspection.
Inspections are instigated by the user. If detailed
information is required on inspection and test
criteria, please refer to your supplier’s technical
department. The equipment Inspection Record is
on page 27.
If using the system in explosive atmospheres, see
additional section titled ATEX.
Maintenance & Repair
In order to ensure correct operation, the conditions
for inspection and maintenance must be complied
with. If any defects are found, stop using the
product immediately.
No alterations or additions to the equipment
should be made without the written consent of the
manufacturer. Any repair must be carried out in
accordance with the manufacturer’s procedures.
It is recommended to maintain the equipment in a
clean and dry manner. Cleaning is suggested using
a sponge or cloth with warm, soapy water, rinsing
and allowing to dry.
Most of the structure is constructed from
aluminium with steel fasteners; non-metallic
parts are constructed from acetal co-polymers,
polyethylene and polyester.
Storage & Transportation
When transporting the components, take note of
all the manual handling considerations.
Do not throw the product down or stack any
items on top of it.
Always place carefully and security on the
ground to avoid damaging the equipment.
Overload Indicator
This product is fitted with a mechanism that will
indicate if the structure has been overloaded.
There are two warning signs to look out for:
The pin to lock the two jib components
together is difficult to insert or can’t be
inserted completely when the upper jib is
retracted into its vertical stowed position after
use
The upper part of the jib itself can’t be fully
retracted into its stowed position
If either of these occur, quarantine the
equipment immediately and contact your REID
representative.

Inspection & Maintenance
Bridge Mount
Top Mount
Cast & Resin Bonded
Side Mount
Sockets
REID’s davits need to be anchored to a suitable
structural surface/foundation capable of
withstanding the applicable loading We strongly
recommends that a structural engineer validates
this prior to installation of the product.
This product can be supplied with one of the
sockets specified below (only sockets supplied
by REID Lifting are approved to be used with this
product):
The Top Mount socket is for use on flat
horizontal surfaces. It can be installed onto
concrete using resin bonded anchors or into
steel work using bolts
The Side Mount socket can be installed using
resin bonded anchors or mechanical anchors
The Bridge Mount socket is for mounting into
steel work and walkways
The Cast & Resin Bonded sockets can be
cast into new concrete or resin bonded into
existing concrete
Socket Installation
Socket installation should only be carried out by
a qualified person, with the ability to specify the
anchors, resin, and fasteners necessary to ensure
an installation that is safe for use. If in any doubt
about the calculation of loads, contact your REID
Lifting representative.
Depending upon the socket type, there are a
number of different installation options. If bolts
are being used for this, then these should be
minimum grade 8.8 BZP or if stainless, grade A4
or equivalent.
When installing the socket, it is important to
ensure that the top face is as level as possible,
with misalignment no more than 3 degrees from
the horizontal.
Note: Site specific information regarding the
installation of REID davit sockets CANNOT be
detailed within this operating manual as each
site/structure is different. A qualified engineer
MUST design and approve each installation
based on the minimum mounting requirements,
site information and experience.
Minimum Mounting Requirements
The supporting structure and installed base must
be capable of withstanding the following:
For personnel, 12kN at the device’s maximum
radius in all worst-case loading directions.
For rope access, 15kN at the device’s maximum
radius in all worst-case loading directions.
150% of the goods capacity at the device’s
maximum radius in all anticipated worst-case
loading directions
For more detailed requirements please contact
REID Lifting.
Verifying the Installation
We recommend that the socket installation is
tested before initial use, particularly when using
resin bonded anchors. When verifying the
installation, testing should be to no more than
125% of the goods capacity at its maximum radius
or 6kN at its maximum radius for personnel. All
tests should be carried out in all anticipated
worst-case loading directions, sustained for a
duration of 3 minutes.
If the socket installation can’t be tested, each
anchor should be isolated and tested individually
applying the applicable tension and shear
loading. Please contact REID for more details
Following initial socket installation verification
tests, we recommend periodic visual examination
rather than overload tests for the socket or davit.
If, as a result of the visual examination, a load test
is judged to be required, then we recommend a
100% load test and certainly no more than 125%.

PORTADAVIT QUANTUM
ATEX
Spark Formation
There is an increased danger of ignition when
certain material pairings clash, namely non-
corrosion-resistant steel or cast iron against
aluminium, magnesium or pertinent alloys. This
applies especially in the case of rust or surface
rust. When assembling the product and inserting
fastening components, these must therefore be
clear of rust and debris of any kind. As stated
previously, care must be taken to ensure the
product is handled in a suitable manner, never
thrown down and always placed carefully onto
the ground.
REID recommends the use of corrosion resistant
tools when assembling this product to prevent
the possibility of any sparks.
Static Electricity
For Zone 1 and 2 applications, there is a potential
risk of static electricity build-up leading to an
incentive spark. Although the risk of such ignition
is unlikely, the system must be earthed during
assembly and use. The sockets should be in
direct contact with the ground and there should
be no membrane separating the socket from the
ground. If the route to earth for the structure
cannot be guaranteed, then an earthing cable
should be used.
Inspection, Maintenance & Repair
Special attention should be given to dust
deposits on the structure, especially in areas
where the profiles come into contact, and should
be wiped clean and care taken not to apply
materials that could create electrostatic charging.
Additionally, the kingpin should be checked to
ensure it rotates freely and the lower bearing
must be ensured to be fixed to the structure with
no possibility of a build-up of debris between
the contact surfaces.
The structure is predominantly constructed from
aluminum which will not rust. However, there are
steel components used throughout. These are
the fasteners, shackles and sockets. Where there
is sign of any rust deposits on the aluminium
structure, it should be wiped clean as above and,
where there is sign of rust on a steel component,
that component should be removed from use
and the structure not used until a replacement
is fitted.
If using the product in explosive atmospheres,
in addition to the Regular Inspection and
Maintenance information above, these additional
instructions should be followed:
Inspections must be instigated by the user prior
to each use if used in a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Inspections and maintenance must be carried
out at a safe distance away from an explosive
atmosphere.
ATEX
This product has been designed for use in
explosive atmospheres in line with the following
requirements and information. Any use which
differs or exceeds this is considered incorrect
and REID Lifting Ltd will not accept any
responsibility or liability for damages resulting
from false application. The risk is solely with the
user. If the product has been customized in
any way, then it may not comply with standards
and no longer be suitable for use in explosive
atmospheres. If this is the case, then the product

A rotational handle can be fitted to the column of
the Davit to aid rotation underload. Dependent
on the load lifted, users can experience a range
of efforts.
To ease some of the higher efforts, as well as
using the handle, users can attach a rope to the
front shackles in the head of the davit to support
the rotation.
The rotation should be done in a controlled
manner.
When the rotational handle is attached to the
Davit the following points must be observed:
Attach the rotational handle to the column of
the Davit at a suitable height [Ideal position
should be around hip height]. Secure in place
with the pins provided. [See Figure 1]
