We manufacture a range of standard sockets, socket extensions and pedestals that are fully compatible with our davit range which can be used for goods lifting, personnel lifting and in many cases fall protection applications. They are also suitable for a variety of structures [subject to engineer approval].

Available in aluminium, galvanised steel and stainless steel. We can also manufacture customised sockets and pedestals on request. Our socket extensions are designed to provide additional height of reach over obstacles, protective rails or walls.

We now offer a new PORTABASE Trench Mount Socket which is designed for use in trenching and shoring applications. Learn more below or contact REID for further details.
