REID Test Davit

 
 

The Reid Lifting TEST Davit was created to allow correct testing of Reid 65mm sockets whilst in situ, without the need for introducing a live working load.

This means the operators can easily carry out testing in line with standards, without having to carry large amounts of test weight to potentially difficult locations and run the risk of an unnecessary incident. It also promotes a reduction in manual handling, enhances overall safety practices and improves productivity.

 

Key Features

  • Compatible with all Reid 65mm sockets enabling you to test multiple installation

  • Features a short, 1m long beam for areas that are tight on space or restricted

  • Height adjustable column which enables users to test Reid’s fixed socket range in a number of configurations

  • Weighs 20kg when assembled for easy transportation and set-up

  • No test weight required; this reduces the risk of manual handling injuries, increases working efficiency and reduces labour and time costs

  • Compatible with the Staht Load Tester and App for accurate readings and records

  • Includes load chart for easy understanding and quick set-up

 

Product Information

 

For goods only the proof load is equal to the WLL x 125%.

Test Davit loading = radius x service load

*Radius relates to the length of the beam of the davit that is use in the lifting operation and not the length of the test beam.

 

Applying Load

PortaGantry Rapide

The TEST Davit can also be use in conjunction with the Reid PORTA GANTRY Rapide to create a highly portable testing solution when conventional load testers cannot be used. Such as instances where the ground conditions close to the socket are not level or sufficient to withstand the forces created by the load tester.

By connecting the PORTA GANTRY Rapide 1000 with a suitable load cell to the TEST Davit, the same testing parameters can be achieved as with a conventional pull tester but with the added versatility that the PGR brings for other applications.

 

STAHT

When combined with the Staht Load Tester, you are able to easily apply service loads to sockets via the TEST Davit, which will then be recorded via the Staht app giving you an accurate record of all tests and installations.

The Staht App allows you to not only record the readings but includes GPS location and take images for further accuracy and detail.
