Universal Usage
Compatible with our full davit range, with socket options available for both 65mm and 95mm kingpins.
Universal Usage
The Side Mount Socket is designed to deliver outstanding versatility across a wide range of lifting, access and fall protection applications. Available with either a 65mm or 95mm kingpin socket, it provides seamless compatibility with the complete Reid davit portfolio, enabling operators to deploy the most suitable davit for the task while maintaining a common mounting solution.
By supporting multiple davit configurations from a single fixed installation, the Side Mount Socket helps simplify equipment management, maximise asset utilisation and reduce long-term infrastructure costs. Whether used for confined space entry, rescue operations, personnel protection or goods lifting, it provides a secure and adaptable interface that gives operators the flexibility to respond to changing site requirements with confidence.
Side Mounting
Designed for secure installation on the side of concrete and steel structures, creating a robust anchorage point where overhead mounting is not practical.
Side Mounting
The Side Mount Socket provides a versatile fixed mounting solution for a wide range of access, rescue and lifting applications. Engineered for side-face installation, it can be securely fixed to concrete structures using M16 resin bonded or mechanical anchors, or mounted directly to suitable steelwork, allowing operators to establish a dependable davit interface in challenging environments.
By utilising existing structural surfaces, the Side Mount Socket helps maximise usable workspace while maintaining safe and efficient access. Its robust installation method delivers a stable foundation for critical operations, giving operators confidence when working at height, over open edges or in confined space environments.
Thin Wall Solution
Optional brace plate available for secure installation on thin concrete walls, expanding mounting possibilities.
Thin Wall Solution
The Side Mount Socket can be supplied with an optional brace plate, providing a practical solution for installations where wall thickness may not be sufficient for a standard mounting configuration. This allows operators to safely utilise davit systems in a wider range of applications while maintaining the strength and stability required for critical lifting, access and fall protection tasks.
By distributing loads more effectively through the supporting structure, the brace plate helps create a robust mounting arrangement on thinner concrete walls. The result is greater installation flexibility, enabling sites to achieve safe and reliable davit deployment in locations that may otherwise be unsuitable for a fixed anchorage solution.
