A section beams up to 15’ = < 1100lb or 50%
capacity of the gantry whichever is lower.
B section beams up to 18’ = < 1100lb or 50%
capacity of the gantry whichever is lower.
D section beams up to 18’ = < 2200lb or 50%
capacity of the gantry whichever is lower.
D section beams up to 27’ = < 1100lb or 50%
capacity of gantry whichever is lower.
To be able to effectively and safely move loads
above these limits the operator should use the
most appropriate mechanical aid. For further
advice, please contact REID Lifting or a qualified
or competent person.
Incorrect use of the gantry could lead to
accidents causing personal injury and/ or
damage to equipment and infrastructure.
Please ensure that the advice and guidelines in
this Assembly & Operation Guide are followed.
Moving Under Load
When moving the gantry underload, the following
instructions MUST be followed:
This product can only be moved in the direction
perpendicular to the beam.
Directional locks must be used on the castors
(perpendicular to the beam only).
The end user MUST make sure the center of
gravity of the load is known and the lifting points
are in such a way that the load is EQUALLY
distributed, so the load generates a vertical pull
to the beam.
The load is not allowed to swing.
The floor must be smooth, flat, free from cracks
or steps and the weather conditions should be
safe for the operation (i.e. not when frost, ice or
snow present).
A risk assessment and method statement are
required to be completed by a competent
person before moving the gantry under load.
This products movement must be controlled at a
slow speed, no sudden movements or high speeds
are allowed.
Fall Protection Applications

Fall Arrest*
3 persons
*Only applicable to this product being used in accordance with
ANSI Z359.18. The system can support more users in Fall arrest if
used in accordance with OSHA 1910 Subpart I or 1926 Subpart M.
Please contact REID Lifting for further details.
Use as a Fall Protection Anchor
This section must not be read in isolation from
all other sections of this manual. Read the whole
manual before using this product.
Fall arrest: This product is tested and conforms to
the requirements of ANSI Z359.18-2017 type D for
fall arrest protection for single or multiple users
depending on the configuration of the product.
The Product can be used as part of a personal fall
protection system that meets the requirements of
ANSI Z359.18, OSHA 1910 subpart I and 1926.502
subpart M. When being used for fall arrest, the
operator must use a body harness and a shock
absorber that complies with the relevant national
standards and regulations and that limits the
maximum allowed force (MAF) to 8kN.
Users may be attached to the system via a
traveling trolley (which may also be locked in
place) or via a fall protection device mounted
to the side cheek plate of the A frame, which
is subsequently deviated through a pulley and
sheave carrier. Only one person should be
attached to each trolley in accordance with the
notified capacity. Each personnel lift must be
properly planned, and all weights clearly known
along with a clear understanding of the capacity
and constraints of all personal fall arrest system
components.
The capabilities stated in the table below apply to
standard range systems only. If unsure about your
system consult serial labels, information filled in on
page 31 or consult your supplier. Custom versions
of the system are available tailored to specific
lifting needs. These versions are designated with
a ‘C’ at the end the product number on the serial
label attached to each A-frame and beam.
This product has different ratings depending
on the application, the ratings for fall protection
applications are detailed in the table below:
Additional Notes for Correct
Operation
The anchorage must always be above the users
head to prevent dangerous free falls.
Always carry out pre-use checks before using
this equipment. It is advised to use a buddy
system and inspection must be by a competent
person.
The fall arrest device must only be attached to
the lifting point on the trolley or the designated
location on the cheek plate or upright. (see
product images and set up instructions).
Never walk away from the footprint of the
product or move outside designated safe
zones whilst connected to it where there is a
risk of a fall (refer to figure B). Ensure that the
operating area is within the footprint of the
system before beginning work.
