TDavit Winched

Different working heights, reach requirements, load characteristics, site layouts, and access restrictions often demand a lifting solution that can adapt without compromising safety or efficiency. The TDavit Winched has been engineered with flexibility at its core, offering multiple beam and column combinations that allow users to tailor the system to their specific application. With a range of reach and height-of-lift options available, operators can configure the system to suit confined spaces, elevated work areas, deep access points, or applications where additional outreach is required.

Every TDavit configuration also features two pin positions, providing operators with the ability to make quick adjustments to lifting geometry using the same system. This enables users to optimise working radius and lifting height to better suit changing site conditions without the need for additional equipment.

Integrated sheaves at both the front and rear of the beam allow winch rope or cable to be routed efficiently through the TDavit system, ensuring smooth, controlled lifting and lowering operations.

By guiding the line through the mast and over the load point, the sheaves help maintain correct rope alignment, reduce cable wear, and minimise the risk of snagging during use.

This enables safer load handling, improved operator control, and greater flexibility when positioning lifting devices for personnel lifting, goods handling, or rescue applications.

The TDavit Winched is fitted with a double shackle head, providing a simple and flexible attachment point for a wide range of lifting and safety equipment. Whether connecting manual chain hoists, lifting blocks, fall arrest devices or rescue equipment the shackled design allows operators to quickly configure the system to suit the task at hand without the need for dedicated lifting hardware.

This flexibility makes the TDavit Winched particularly valuable for organisations carrying out varied lifting operations across multiple locations. Rather than being restricted to a specific winch or lifting appliance, users have the freedom to select the most appropriate equipment for the application, enabling the same davit to support different lifting requirements.

The TDavit Winched is compatible with a wide range of winch and retrieval SRL brackets, including Reids PortX Winch, PortX Rescue and Plus Winch, as well as selected third-party devices. This flexibility allows operators to configure the system for goods lifting, personnel lifting, fall protection, and rescue applications creating a solution tailored to specific site and operational requirements.

By supporting a variety of lifting and safety devices, the TDavit Winched can often be integrated with existing equipment, helping organisations maximise the value of their current assets while reducing the need for additional investment. This adaptable approach allows a single TDavit system to be deployed across multiple applications, improving versatility, operational efficiency, and return on investment.

The TDavit Winched is designed around Reids universal 65mm kingpin, allowing the system to rotate a full 360° while carrying a load. Rather than having to repeatedly reposition the davit, operators can smoothly move loads through the required lifting path by simply rotating the system around its socket position. This not only improves control during lifting and lowering operations but also helps maintain safer handling of suspended loads throughout the task.

In confined spaces, around obstacles, or in areas with restricted access, the ability to rotate under load provides greater freedom of movement while helping to minimise manual intervention. This can reduce setup adjustments, improve workflow, and allow lifting operations to be completed more quickly and effectively.

The TDavit Winched has been designed from the ground up for exceptional durability and a long service life. A key part of this design is the elimination of welded joints. This not only makes the unit lighter and easier to transport in many applications, but also removes the need for costly, time-consuming weld inspections and significantly reduces the potential for failure points to develop later in the product’s life cycle.
