Manriding Tirfor

Manual cable hoist for lifting persons. Models TU6P TU12P TU24P

This range of manriding certified Tirfors are available in three different sized, 600kg, 1200kg and 2400kg capacity. The capacity selected will be to suit the lifting platform in which they are to be used and the number of people / tools and equipment to be lifted.

These 'Man riding' lifting machines must be used with a secondary safety device such as the Blockstop fall arrest device to be fitted to a separate / independent rope; thus providing a fall arrest plan. Consideration must also be made to have a rescue plan in place.

Standard Tractel Tirfor TU8, TU16 and TU32 machines and ropes must not be used for the lifting of persons.

Introduction and description of the equipment : Tirfor Machine

The TIRFOR machine is a portable hoisting device, through which the wire rope passes. It performs all the functions of a hoist.
Its originality lies in the traction principle used on the wire rope. Instead of being wound round a reeler, as with conventional winches, the wire rope is in a straight line held by two jaws, which act like two hands, pulling it up or helping to lower it. The mechanism automatically grips the wire ropes.
