Sockets & Bases
PortX Barrel Mount
Engineered for maximum safety in trenching and shoring applications, the PortX Barrel Mount supports our range of davits for personnel safety or materials handling, ensuring tasks can be completed with confidence. The mount locks into place on trench boxes or similar, with a clamping range from 60mm - 600mm.
Conformity standards
- EN795:2012 Type B
Versatile Rotation Capability
The PortX Barrel Mount combines a dedicated 90° fall arrest working arc with smooth 360° rotation under load, delivering exceptional flexibility across lifting and safety applications.
Versatile Rotation Capability
For fall arrest operations, the 90° working arc provides multiple approved operating positions within a defined zone, giving operators greater freedom to align the davit with the work area while maintaining a safe and compliant fall protection setup.
When lifting personnel or materials, the davit can rotate a full 360° under WLL, allowing it to be swung completely away from the edge for safer loading and unloading. This improves accessibility, enhances operator control and streamlines the transfer of tools, equipment and personnel.
Wide Clamping Range
With a clamping range of 60mm to 600mm, the PortX Barrel Mount can be securely attached to a wide variety of structural elements, delivering exceptional installation flexibility.
Wide Clamping Range
Designed to adapt to diverse site conditions, the wide adjustment range enables operators to utilise the same system across multiple structures without the need for bespoke mounting solutions. This increases deployment options and helps simplify equipment planning. Pin adjustment points at 50mm intervals allow the clamp position to be fine-tuned for each application, helping operators achieve the safest and most secure fit on the structure.
By accommodating such a broad range of structural sizes, the PortX Barrel Mount maximises application versatility and site accessibility, allowing operators to establish a secure anchorage point in more locations while reducing setup limitations and improving overall operational efficiency.
1200mm Maximum Davit Radius Compatibility
Compatible with davits featuring a maximum radius of up to 1200mm, the PortX Barrel Mount provides the flexibility to support larger davit configurations and a broader range of applications.
1200mm Maximum Davit Radius Compatibility
By accommodating davits up to 1200mm radius, operators have greater freedom to select the most appropriate davit for the task, helping optimise access, workflow and system capability without changing the mounting arrangement.
This enhanced compatibility increases the versatility of the overall system, enabling a single Barrel Mount to support multiple davit configurations while maximising equipment utilisation and adapting to changing operational requirements.
Direct-to-Metal Davit Interface
The PortX Barrel Mount features a direct-to-metal davit interface, eliminating the need for a PVC sleeve while delivering a secure and precise connection.
Direct-to-Metal Davit Interface
By removing sacrificial sleeve components, the system reduces wear-related maintenance requirements and eliminates the need to inspect, replace or manage additional parts throughout its service life. This helps simplify ownership and maximise operational uptime.
The precision interface provides a robust connection between the davit and mount, giving operators greater confidence during use while ensuring smooth installation, reliable performance and long-term operational efficiency.
Built for Lasting Performance
The PortX Barrel Mount combines robust construction with exceptional durability, delivering reliable performance in demanding working environments.
Built for Lasting Performance
Manufactured around a galvanised steel frame, the system is built to withstand the rigours of frequent use, providing a strong and dependable foundation for lifting and fall protection applications. This enhanced durability helps maintain performance in challenging industrial and outdoor environments.
The high-strength frame is engineered for long-term service, reducing wear over time and giving operators confidence that the system will continue to perform reliably across years of demanding deployments, maximising uptime and return on investment.
Dual-Rated Versatility
Rated for 160kg goods lifting and 140kg personnel applications, the PortX Barrel Mount delivers the flexibility to support both lifting and safety operations from a single solution.
Dual-Rated Versatility
Perfect for personnel access, the 140kg personnel lifting capacity provides a safe and reliable solution for working in confined spaces and trenching and shoring applications without requiring dedicated access infrastructure. In addition, the system supports materials lifting of up to 160kg, enabling operators to safely raise and lower tools, equipment and other essential work materials. This dual-purpose capability streamlines operations and improves efficiency in environments where both personnel access and material handling are required.
By supporting both personnel and goods handling, the PortX Barrel Mount maximises equipment utilisation and reduces the need for multiple systems on site. The result is a highly versatile solution that enhances productivity, simplifies logistics and delivers greater value across a wide range of access, maintenance and inspection applications.
