Sockets, Extensions & Pedestals

S&E.JPG

 

We manufacture a range of standard sockets, socket extensions and pedestals that are fully compatible with our davit range which can be used for goods lifting, personnel lifting and in many cases fall protection applications. They are also suitable for a variety of structures [subject to engineer approval].

Available in aluminium, galvanised steel and stainless steel. We can also manufacture customised sockets and pedestals on request. Our socket extensions are designed to provide additional height of reach over obstacles, protective rails or walls.

We now offer a new PORTABASE Trench Mount Socket which is designed for use in trenching and shoring applications. Learn more below or contact REID for further details.

We offer sockets with two kingpin diameter sizes [65mm and 95mm] to fit our range of davits.

Our socket options include:

  • Top Mount

We can also offer customised sockets, which are bespoke made and developed for non-typical installations. To discuss your requirements with us, contact us.

Socket Extensions

Our socket extensions are designed to provide additional lift height or reach over obstacles, protective rails or walls for 65mm socket/kingpin davits. Made from lightweight aluminium, with integrated carry handles they’re designed to be easy to use. Simply insert them into the existing socket and assemble a standard davit, as normal, using the extension as its socket.

Our socket extensions are available in three standard sizes:

  • 500mm

  • 800mm

  • 1100mm

They can also be customised to meet our customers’ specific requirements.

Pedestals

Our pedestal sockets are similar to top mount sockets and are manufactured from lightweight aluminium. Our pedestals are designed to provide additional lift height or reach over obstacles, protective rails or walls.

We offer pedestals that are suitable for use with our 65mm kingpin davit range.

Our pedestals are available in three standard sizes:

  • 500mm

  • 800mm

They can also be customised to meet our customers’ specific requirements.
