Tirfor Wire Rope Hoist by Tractel was built to be safe, reliable. It can pull and lift at a faster rate with less effort. Suitable for any lifting and pulling job, the Tirfor is particularly useful for longer pulls and higher lifts since any length of rope can be used. The Tirfor is a manual, hand-operated hoist and can be used anywhere – no electricity required.
Designed specifically to be used with Maxiflex wire ropes with one hook end of any length to suit the application. The wire ropes can be easily removed from the hoist and replaced with longer Tirfor wire ropes.
The TU series uses a different jaw shape to its older companion, the T500 series Tirfor hoist. The T500 Tirfor hoist only has two same shape jaws; whereas the newer TU hoist has jaws shaped like a ‘U’ which provides more grip and pressure to make the hoist stronger. Due to its strength and durability, the TU series Tirfor hoist is approved by UL and is qualified to be used as man-riding equipment.
THE ‘U’ ADVANTAGE
The U-shaped jaws maintain cylindrical shape of the rope resulting in increased mechanical yield and ensures maximum life
Can be very easily dismantled and reduces the amount of time to maintain
Allows considerable savings in the number of parts to be repaired
Perfect choice of hoist if used in daily operation
EASE OF USE
Works in any position: horizontal, vertical, or angled
Easy installation and operation
Lightweight and portable – less effort and manpower are required
CONVENIENT
