A priceless bronze cannon recovered from the main deck of Henry VIII’s Mary Rose warship needed to be moved from one room to another in the Portsmouth Mary Rose Museum. For REID customer Maxim Lifting Services, the REID PORTA GANTRY proved the ideal solution.

Our PORTADAVIT QUANTUM is a one-piece rapidly deployable solution that is available in a stropped or winched variant, they offer tremendous strength to weight ratio with the smallest stropped unit weighing just 18kg and can lift up 600kg for materials and 300kg for personnel. The innovative design of the PORTADAVIT QUANTUM transfers the load to the kingpin at the base of the davit.

A chance meeting and a generous loan offer by REID Lifting enabled a traditional stone carver to create a stunning new War Memorial to remember the fallen from two villages in the Forest of Dean. Learn more about the Porta Gantry 5000kg and how it supported in this local project
