Heavyweight performance, lightweight design

Engineered for demanding lifting applications, the Porta Gantry can safely lift up to 5000kg of materials, delivering exceptional strength without compromising portability. This impressive lifting capacity, combined with its lightweight modular aluminium construction, allows the system to handle heavy loads in locations where traditional lifting equipment may be impractical or unavailable. For even greater capability, multiple Porta Gantries can be used in tandem to distribute loads, increase overall lifting capacity, and provide enhanced stability during large or complex lifting operations.

The system is also certified for personnel lifting up to 2500kg, providing a safe and reliable solution for access, rescue, and confined space operations. For work-at-height applications, the Porta Gantry can support fall arrest systems for up to five users simultaneously, creating a secure anchorage point for teams operating in safety-critical environments.

Designed to adapt to changing operational demands, the Porta Gantry combines interchangeable beams and A-frames to create a lifting solution that fits your application, not the other way around. With adjustable heights up to 5.8m and beam spans up to 9m, the system can be configured to suit varying load requirements, clearance restrictions, and site conditions.

Whether supporting confined space entry, pump removal, equipment maintenance, asset installation, or temporary lifting operations, the Porta Gantry can be tailored to overcome site-specific challenges while maximising efficiency, safety, and usability.

With a lightweight, modular design and a reduced number of components, the Porta Gantry is easy to transport, assemble, and reconfigure for different applications.

Standard 360° swivel castors with brakes allow the system to be positioned quickly and securely exactly where it’s needed, while its portable construction enables use across a wide range of environments, terrains, and lifting scenarios. The result is a versatile and adaptable lifting solution that can easily move with your operation and respond to changing site requirements.

Built from high-grade marine aluminium, the Porta Gantry is designed to perform in demanding environments, from coastal and offshore locations to challenging industrial sites.

All aluminium sections are anodised, increasing resistance to corrosion, wear, and damage while helping to extend the system’s service life. This makes the system particularly well suited to sectors such as water and wastewater, utilities, marine, renewable energy, and infrastructure maintenance, where lifting equipment is regularly exposed to challenging environmental conditions.

The Porta Gantry is more than just a lifting structure, it integrates with a wide range of winches, self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), and hoists to create a complete lifting and safety system tailored to your application.

Compatible with equipment from the Reid portfolio as well as selected third-party products, the Porta Gantry offers the flexibility to use the accessories and devices best suited to the task.

Built for efficiency, the Porta Gantry’s lightweight modular design enables quick assembly, dismantling, and redeployment, making it easy to move between locations and applications. Unlike fixed lifting structures, the system can be repeatedly reused across multiple projects, helping organisations reduce equipment costs, minimise downtime, and improve operational flexibility. Whether supporting emergency repairs, planned maintenance, utility works, shutdowns, or remote-site operations, the Porta Gantry is an ideal solution when time is critical and resources are limited.

For even greater efficiency, the optional Gantry Assembly Aid is designed to simplify the raising and dismantling of Porta Gantry systems as it helps reduce installation time, minimise manual handling, and improve overall ease of assembly. Using castor-mounted legs fitted to each A-frame, four shackles, and a range of size-specific straps, the Assembly Aid acts as a guided system that streamlines setup and dismantling, particularly in demanding environments.
