PORTA GANTRY
500-3000
Only raise and lower loads when castor brakes
are engaged
Do not allow the load to swing
To avoid side pull, lowering and lifting should
only be carried out when the load chain forms
a straight and vertical line between the load
and lifting attachment point on the trolley.
(Refer to figure A)
We recommend the use of load-sensing or
overload protection devices on all lifts
The risk assessment and method statement
must take into account any factors that might
apply additional loading to the system during
lifting operations
Take care when transporting and storing the
system to avoid damage
To ensure stability of the structure, the
operating span of the beam must be equal
to or greater than the distance between the
castors on the A-Frame
Warning
The equipment should not be used outside
of its limitations, or for any purpose other than
that for which it is intended
Do not lift or transport loads while personnel
are in the danger zone
Do not allow personnel to pass under a
suspended load
Never leave a suspended load unattended
Do not start moving the load along the beam
until you have checked that it has been
attached correctly
Don’t allow the load to hit the system frame
When winching, only use one winch with each
sheave and make sure they never cross paths
with each other
Be aware of any adverse weather conditions
such as strong or gusty winds which could
impose additional horizontal loads and affect
the stability of the structure. Stop using if
weather is impacting on lifting, and either
disassemble the gantry or tie it to a rigid
structure to ensure it can’t overturn
Be aware of hazards when setting up/folding
down, such as trapping fingers in rotating
parts
Traversing the Load
This product is designed so that the load can be
traversed along the beam using the trolley. When
moving a loaded trolley along the beam, move
the load steadily and in a controlled manner and
avoid sudden movements
At larger capacities and/or longer beams this
action can become difficult. REID recommends
that a rope control system be used to reduce
the effort and provide more control over the
movement.
The rope control system allows the operator to
control the movement of the trolley from a safe
location at the side of the gantry. This system
includes a winch and series of pulleys that
introduce a mechanical advantage and reduce the
effort during operation.
