Davits
Sockets & Bases
Ensure safe, flexible lifting with REID’s sockets, pedestals, and portable bases, designed for both permanent anchor points and temporary, mobile setups.
Choose Fixed when:
Fixed sockets for our davits are ideal where lifting or access tasks are repeated at the same location, providing a dedicated, ready-to-use anchorage point.
Why they’re useful:
- Fast setup, minimal downtime
- Consistent positioning
- Strong & secure
Choose Portable when:
Portable Bases & Sockets are ideal where lifting points change or a fixed installation isn’t practical, allowing the system to be quickly positioned wherever it’s needed.
Why they’re useful:
- Flexibility across multiple locations
- No permanent installation is required
- Easy to move and reposition
