Reid Lifting is a leading designer and manufacturer of lightweight, portable lifting equipment for manual lifting applications, to WLL 5,000 kg. We provide both off-the-shelf and bespoke lifting solutions across a wide range of sectors, such as waste water treatment, civil engineering, construction and clean environments e.g. hospitals and heritage sites - having been used in the world’s leading museums including the Vatican in Rome and London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.

By using our strong but lightweight aluminium gantry and davit (jib crane) ranges, that are easily transported to the job, rather than having permanent structures in place, workplace lifting practices are made easier, safer, more efficient and more cost-effective.

Our focus on innovation and product development has made us the leader in aluminium gantry and davit markets winning the Queen’s Award for Enterprise - Innovation. Reid Products are made using aluminium profiles that we design in-house to optimise strength and weight which make our gantry, davit and other aluminium products the clear leaders in their class.

Recent developments have meant the introduction of unique products such as the PORTA-DAVIT 1000, the first truly portable WLL 1000kg davit system, and the newly launched PORTA-GANTRY RAPIDE, which is providing revolutionary rapid deployment solutions for many applications such as work at height, confined space and general lifting to WLL 500kg. The RAPIDE challenges the traditional and limited tripod systems, providing far greater capability and additional safety considerations.

Our products can be sourced directly or through our rapidly growing network of resellers, distributors and partners across Europe, the Middle East, Australia, the USA and Canada. We are always looking for opportunities to expand both our product range and our network so are keen to discuss new applications and further relationships with customers and partners alike.

If you have a special requirement for a lightweight, portable, aluminium lifting solution, or would be interested in working with Reid in a professional capacity, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
