Disclaimer
REID lifting sockets & extensions have been
designed, developed and tested for safe use
with REID equipment and form a key part of
the integrity of the total system
All sockets have a maximum moment based
on the maximum reach setting of the Davit,
and the socket installation and verification
tests performed
If non-standard, third-party sockets are used,
REID Lifting’s Declaration of Conformity &
Incorporation and warranty for the products is
no longer valid and the system becomes the
responsibility of the client
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
Be aware of hazards when setting up/folding
down, such as trapping fingers in rotating
parts
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.
Don’t allow the load to hit the system
Fall Protection
When being used as part of a fall protection
system the user must use a body harness and
retractable device or shock absorber to EN355 that
limits the maximum allowed force (M.A.F.) to 6kN.
Winches used with the system should comply to
EN1496:2017 or equivalent.
In the event of simultaneous goods and personnel
combined lifting or when being used as a fall
arrest system in sub-zero and wet conditions
contact the supplier as capacities may be reduced.
While this product will have the capabilities stated
on it, it is only one part of a fall arrest system which
is only as strong as the lowest rated component.
Each lift must be properly planned, and all
weights clearly known along with the WLL and
constraints of all fall arrest system devices.
Additional Notes for Correct Operation
Ensure suitable and appropriately rated
winches and connection plates are used for all
applications
Never walk away from the structure whilst
connected to the equipment (either by winch
or fall arrest block)
When using the davit as a fall arrest anchor,
ensure there is adequate fall clearance when
working at height
Always consider the potential effects of
sharp edges, chemical reagents, electrical
conductivity, cutting, abrasion, climatic
exposure on the fall protection lifelines,
and the effect of offset forces as a result of
pendulum falls
When being used for fall protection, the
user must remain within the footprint of this
product
Where regulations require, each installation
must be approved by a qualified person
Warning
When using the Davit in conjunction with any
other manufacturer’s fall protection products,
it is essential to read the instructions for
those products to check their suitability and
restrictions for use
REID Lifting does not recommend that the
davit is used for personnel and goods lifting at
the same time
It is essential for safety that the product is

1. Any doubt arises about its condition for
safe use or;
2. It has been used to arrest a fall
