PORTAGANTRY RAPIDE WLL Goods 500kg.
Personnel 250kg

Lightweight, Rapid-Deploy Portable Lifting System

The PORTA-GANTRY RAPIDE is a fully portable, quick-assembly lifting solution designed for professionals who need safe, strong, and flexible lifting capability on the move. Engineered with innovative aluminium construction, the RAPIDE provides market-leading strength while remaining incredibly lightweight, making it perfect for applications where traditional fixed lifting equipment is impractical or impossible to use.

Ideal for lifting goods up to 500kg and personnel lifting up to 250kg (Model dependent), it offers a unique combination of durability, portability, and rapid deployment. The system can be fully assembled by a single operator, without tools, in just minutes. Its folding design allows the entire structure to pack neatly into a compact format for easy transportation in service vehicles, vans, or pickup trucks. Whether you require reliable lifting support on-site, in maintenance facilities, remote locations, or confined commercial environments, the RAPIDE is built to deliver efficiency, safety, and performance.


PORTA Gantry Rapide Foot Options

Castor Foot - Provides the PORTA Gantry Rapide with improved mobility when assembling, repositioning, or transporting the frame between lift points. Featuring a durable swivel wheel and locking brake, this option allows the gantry to be rolled safely across level surfaces without the need for dismantling.
Recommended for: frequent repositioning, multi-bay lifting work, maintenance environments, workshops, and vehicle fleets where the gantry must be moved repeatedly.

Articulated Foot - Provides a stable, compliant contact point for the gantry when used on uneven or sloped surfaces. Designed to pivot and level itself automatically, this option helps maintain vertical alignment of the system under load, ensuring proper load distribution and enhanced safety during lifting operations.
Recommended for: outdoor use, uneven flooring, construction sites, loading yards, and locations where high stability is required.


REID PORTAGANTRY RAPIDE  Beam Trolley Options

Master Link Trolley - Master Link Trolley can be used when additional headroom or clearance is not an issue and the convenience of a large opening for the attachment of various hoists is preferred. This innovative product enables multiple trolleys to be attached to the beam after the system has been fully assembled and can also be locked in position on the beam

Close Coupled Trolley - Close Coupled Trolley can be used when additional headroom or clearance is needed below the beam. This trolley can be attached to the beam after the system has been fully assembled.

Sheave Carrier - Sheave carriers enable the use of winches or retrieval fall arrest devices with the PORTAGANTRY RAPIDE. They are detachable and can incorporate either one or two pulley wheels to act as guides for cables or ropes. All have 500kg max WLL.
