A patented gantry that can be assembled in under 60 seconds for both goods and personnel lifting applications
What is a Portable Gantry Crane?
A Portable Gantry Crane is a movable overhead lifting system designed to safely lift, lower, suspend, and position loads without requiring permanent runway beams or fixed overhead crane infrastructure. Unlike traditional overhead cranes, a portable gantry crane can be transported, assembled, disassembled, and relocated between work areas, making it a flexible lifting solution for temporary and mobile operations.
The REID PORTA-GANTRY is a patented aluminium portable gantry crane engineered for rapid deployment, lightweight portability, and high-strength lifting performance. Designed for tool-free assembly, the system can be erected by a small team in under 60 seconds, allowing lifting operations to commence with minimal downtime.
Available in multiple configurations, the portable gantry crane can accommodate different span widths, adjustable heights, lifting capacities, hoist types, trolley systems, and mobility requirements. Its modular design allows users to transport the system between locations while maintaining structural strength and compliance with recognised lifting and safety standards.
