CORRECT OPERATION
Intended Use

The P O RTA -GANTRY RAPIDE is intended to be used
for the lifting of goods or the lif ting of perso ns, or for
prov iding a safet y anchor for the prevention o f falls.

N.B. We recommend that the device is dedicated to
either goods or personnel use and where reasonably
pract icable t o avoid using the structure for both.

PO RTA-GANTRY RAPIDEs are suitabl e for Rope Access
and have b een tested t o 15KN static load as per test
requiremen ts of IRATA International C ode of Practice
(ICOP).

Inspection Prior to Initial Operation

Each P ORTA -GANTRY RAPIDE f rame must be
inspected prior to initial operation by a compe tent
person. The in spection is v isual and func tional and shall
establish t hat the structure is safe and has n ot been
damaged by incorrec t assembly, tr ansport or storage.
Inspections are instigated by the user.

Inspection Before Starting Work

The inspect ion pro cedur e requires that a valid
inspection/test certificate has been submi tted to and
checked by the user.

Before st art ing wor k inspect the gantr y frame
assembly and all load-bearing components for
visual defects. Check the integrit y of all profile s for
denting and pin/bolt holes for wear and elongation.

Furthermore, test the trolley for free movement along
the beam and chec k the operation of the foot ing opt ion.

Ensur e that t he overall WL L limit is adhered to –
follo wing the necessary Risk As sessm ent and Method
Statement.

Maximum Capacity

The

PO RTA-GANTRY RAPIDE
lower loads up t o its r ated capaci ty. The capacity
indicated on the frame is the maximum Working Load
Limit (WLL) or Safe Working Load (SWL) which must
not be exceeded (definition is country dependent).

When being used as a personnel li fting anchor the user
must use a body harnes s and retrac table devic e or
shock absorber to EN355 , A NSI Z359.6 -09 or CSA
Z259.16-04 that limit s the Ma ximum A llowe d Force
(M.A.F.) to 6kN. Winc hes used with the

RAPIDE

should comply to EN1496:2017 or equivalent.

Only ONE person/load ma y be at tached to ONE t rolle y
in accordance with the WLLs.

The P OR TA-GANTRY RAPIDE has di fferent ratings
depending upon the application as detailed in the table
below

.

The gan try has an up-rat ed capacit y for personnel
positioning. This is when the structure is to b e used
as an anchor for li fting persons that have a s uitably
low chance of fa lling through a f ree distance and

of Categor y 3 equipment for use in Zone 2 expl osive
atmospheres, providing a normal level of protec tion
where mixtures of air and gases, v apour s or mists or
by air/dusts mixtures are unlikely to occur or, if the y
do occur, are likel y to do so only inf requentl y and for a
short period only.

by air/dusts mixtures are likely to occur.

ATEX - Identification

In addition to the previous marking sec tion the product
will have the following identification on the serial label:

As Standard for Zone 2 Environments:

II 3 GD T6

Identification for protection against explosions

II: Unit group II – non-mining application

ATEX - Spark Formation

Incre ased danger of ignition may emanate f rom
clashing of special material pairings. These are
non corrosion-resistant steel or cast iron against
aluminium, magnesium or pertinent alloys. This
applie s especially in case of r ust or surfa ce rus t.
When assembling the product and inserting fastening
components they must be cle ar of rust and debris of
any kind. Car e must be taken t o ensur e the pr oduct
is handled in a suitable manner, is never thrown and
always placed onto the ground.

For Zon e 1 and 2 applications, the height of the
PO RTA-GANTRY RAPIDE should NOT be adjusted using
the ra tche t mechanism and/or gear ed wheel wit hin
the said zone.

REID recommen d the use o f corr osion r esis tant tools
when assembling the P OR TA-GANTRY RAPIDE system
to prevent t he possibility of any sparks.

For ATEX Z one 1 use, stainless s teel c astor brack ets
are fitted to reduce the possibility of a spar k.

ATEX - Static Electricity

For Zone 2 applications s tat ic elec tric ity has been
ident ified as pot ential for build up leadi ng to an
incendive spark. Al though the risk of such ignition is
unlikely the gantr y must be earthed during assembly
and use. This can be achieved by attaching a 4mm
earthing lead to a con venient location on metallic
part s of both the Gantry and Trolley.

In Zone 1 applications, for added explosion protection,
the gan try is fit ted with anti-s tatic trolley ro llers,
stainless s teel f asteners and therefore does not
need to be earthed. How ever, the effectiv eness o f
the conductivity during oper ation can be af fected
by a dir ty tr ead or other environmental influences
and therefore must b e checked by the operat or
periodically.

If using t he gant ry in explosive at mospheres, in
addit ion to t he Regular Inspec tion/Maintenance
infor mation found on page 6, these additional
instructions should be followed.

Inspec tions shall be instigated by the user prior to
each use if used in a potentially explosiv e atmosphere.
Inspec tions and maint enance shall be carried out at a
safe distance away f rom an explos ive at mosphere.

Special att ention should be given to dust deposi ts on
the st ructure, especially in areas wher e the pr ofiles
come into contact , and shoul d be wipe d clean and
care t aken no t to appl y materials t hat could crea te
electros tatic charging. Addi tionally the bearings in
the tr olley r oller s and cas tor s should be checked to
ensure they rotate freely.

The st ruct ure is pr edominantl y constructed fr om
aluminium which will not rust. However there are
steel components used thr oughout. These are
the fasteners, castors, master-link, trolley rollers,
A-frame height adjust ment ge aring system (if fi tted)
and the height adjustment ratchet (if fitted). Where
there is sign of any rus t deposits on t he aluminium
structur e it should be wiped clean as above and wher e
there is sign of rust on a s teel compone nt then that
component should be removed from use and the
structur e not used unti l a replacement is fit ted.
