The REID gantry system is a modular, lightweight portable aluminum lifting and fall protection frame. This new product is innovative in that it can be used as a safety system in either confined spaces or when working at heights. It’s adjustable, compact and folds away easily for storage.

This money saving product allows both workers and materials to be lowered in a hole as well as working at heights as Fall Protection. With quick setup, multiple configuration options, and fully compliant safety features, this is a proven solution for industries that demand safe working environments without sacrificing performance.

Because it’s lightweight, portable, and quickly set up, Fallproof has been able to use Reid Gantry solutions for lifting or fall arrest on multiple and varied projects including:

Chemical Facilities:   Allowing the workers to climb on top of machines while staying protected from falling,  because the system’s  mobility allows workers to simply roll the system in place and utilize it as a fall arrest system.

Tank Facility:  The Reid Gantry systems allows workers to use ONE SYSTEM across multiple tanks in a yard. Utilizing one solution over 15 to 20 tanks rather than having 15 permanent systems designed into the ground limits the costs and allows ease of use for the workers.

Manufacturing:   A Large General Industry Company is able to use the Reid Gantry in Confined Space and Rescue.   This is an older facility with space restrictions, so having a portable unit that folds up allows them multiple safety solutions for problems that have been an issue for years.

Airplane Repair:   As airplanes get larger and buildings are not able to grow, not all cranes cover all areas. The Reid Gantry is able to reach areas the overhead crane cannot.   It’s portability allows it to be pulled onto the runway for quick repairs, protecting the worker as they perform maintenance.

Sea Boxes:   The constant need to be on top of something, in this case containers,  that are in multiple locations in a yard.  This will again allow for portability as well as ease of use for fall arrest, confined space and rescue across any issue at a facility – saving both money and the event of a catastrophic loss.

Overall, Fallproof has been very impressed with the flexibility, time and money saving options the Reid Gantry brings to our industry.  The system features include:

  • Adjustable height
  • Single-person assembly—no tools required
  • Integrated transport wheels and fold-flat design
  • Corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum construction
  • Lift or lower products or personnel
  • Compatible with sheave carriers, winches, and trolley systems
