The genuine Tirfor machine for all lifting and pulling applications, where only the best will do.
- TU8 - 800kg lifting or pulling
- TU16 - 1600kg lifting or pulling
- TU32 - 3200kg lifting or pulling
- Ropes come complete with a safety hook
The principle may be described as ‘hand-to-hand’, like a sailor pulling on a rope. While one hand pulls the other changes position to pull in turn. The two hands represent the 2 jaws of the TIRFOR. They grip the wire rope without damaging it, and alternately pull it forward during the operation and hold it during reverse operation. The effort is transferred to the jaws by two levers, one for forward operation and the other for reverse operation. The load is held securely at all times.
New or replacement Tirfor Ropes & Tractel Tirfor Accessories are also available within our range.
The Tirfor TU series is for materials lifting applications only. For people/personnel lifting, please see the Tirfor TU-P cable puller series.
