Tirfors and Tirfor Type Winches

Quick Ref: CN-2566

A Tirfor is a wire rope cable pulling machine that operates through a lever action that grips and pulls the wire rope. The term Tirfor was created by Tractel, which designed and manufactured the very first Tirfor winch. Over many decades, other manufacturers have designed an alternative to the original Tractel Tirfor.

Below, you can find a vast range of different Tirfor type winches from multiple manufacturers, but as you will see, Tractel are still very much leading this field, with hydraulically driven options that can operate through either an electric or petrol-driven power pack, and even a pneumatic air-driven version is available.
