Sockets & Bases
Porta Base Trailer Hitch
The Porta Base Trailer Hitch is a fully portable anchorage solution for lifting, confined space access, and work-at-height applications, creating a secure anchorage point directly from a vehicle tow hitch. Compatible with the Reid davit range, it enables rapid deployment across multiple locations, providing a flexible and reliable solution for lifting, personnel access, and fall protection wherever it's needed.

Modular Construction
The Porta Base Trailer Hitch breaks down into six lightweight components, delivering exceptional portability, compact storage and rapid deployment.
Modular Construction
Designed for easy transportation and handling, the modular system allows operators to move and assemble the equipment without any tools. Breaking down into six lightweight components, the system simplifies manual handling while the compact design reduces storage requirements and makes deployment in restricted-access locations faster and more efficient.
By combining a portable 6-piece design with trailer hitch mounting, the system can be transported directly to the point of use and assembled quickly on site. The result is a highly versatile lifting solution that maximises mobility, reduces setup time and improves operational productivity.
Tool free assembly
Tool Free assembly supports rapid setup for operators
Tool free assembly
Designed for rapid deployment, the Porta Base Trailer Hitch features a completely tool-free assembly process, enabling operators to set up and dismantle the system quickly and efficiently without the need for tools. This reduces setup time, simplifies operation and helps teams get to work faster.
By eliminating tools and loose components, the Porta Base Trailer Hitch minimises complexity on site, reduces the risk of lost parts and supports safer, more streamlined operations. The result is a user-friendly solution that maximises productivity while maintaining the flexibility and portability demanded by challenging work environments.
Dual vehicle mounting orientation
The Porta Base Trailer Hitch can be installed either parallel or perpendicular to the vehicle, providing maximum flexibility to suit site constraints and lifting requirements.
Dual vehicle mounting orientation
Designed to adapt to the application, the dual mounting configuration allows operators to position the system for optimal access, reach and working area utilisation. The system can be configured either parallel or perpendicular to the vehicle, providing greater flexibility to suit site conditions and operational requirements. This flexibility helps overcome space restrictions and enables efficient lifting in a wider range of environments.
By allowing the lifting point to be configured around the vehicle, the system improves operational versatility while reducing setup limitations. The result is a more adaptable lifting solution that enhances productivity and enables safer, more efficient operations on site.
1000mm maximum davit radius
Compatible with davits featuring a maximum radius of up to 1000mm, the Porta Base Trailer Hitch supports a wider range of davit configurations while maintaining the convenience of a vehicle-mounted solution.
1000mm maximum davit radius
By supporting davits up to 1000mm radius, the system can accommodate a broader range of lifting requirements without the need for alternative base systems. This gives operators more choice when configuring equipment for specific site conditions and operational demands.
The increased compatibility helps future-proof lifting operations, enabling a single base system to support multiple davit configurations while maximising equipment utilisation and reducing the need for additional investment.
Engineered for Harsh Environments
Designed to thrive in demanding conditions, the Porta Base Trailer Hitch combines outstanding durability with long-term reliability.
Engineered for Harsh Environments
Its clean, anodised finish provides enhanced resistance to corrosion and environmental exposure, helping protect the system when deployed in challenging outdoor and industrial environments. This added protection helps maintain appearance, reduce wear and support consistent performance over time.
Built for operators who demand dependable equipment, the corrosion-resistant finish helps minimise maintenance requirements and extends service life, ensuring the system remains ready for deployment wherever the job takes it.
Levelling Feet for Uneven Ground
Integrated levelling feet allow the Porta Base Trailer Hitch to be deployed securely on uneven ground, expanding the range of locations where lifting operations can be carried out safely.
Levelling Feet for Uneven Ground
Engineered to adapt to challenging site conditions, the levelling feet enable precise adjustment during setup, helping operators establish a stable and secure foundation even when working on irregular surfaces. This increased flexibility reduces site limitations and broadens deployment opportunities.
By maintaining optimum system positioning, the levelling feet enhance stability, improve operator confidence and support safer lifting operations. The result is faster setup, greater operational versatility and consistent performance across a wider range of temporary lifting environments.
