Tirfor Lifting and Pulling Machine Applications

Tirfor Machine ApplicationsThe Tirfor, the right tool for the job
Tirfor Lifting and Pulling Machines are safe, reliable and effecient. Suitable for many application, Tirfor machines are level operated hoists using a seperate wire rope. One man operated, using a telescopic operating handle, they can work in any position and over any height of lift. They can replace conventional winches and other hoists for many applications.

Tirfor Machines have several major advantages:

  • Ease of handling and operation.
  • Works in any position: horizontal, vertical or angled.
  • Precise operation.
  • Unlimited length of wire rope eases rigging.
  • There's always a job for the Tirfor machine!

    The Tifor Principle
    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 alternatively pull it during forward opeation. The effort is transfered to the jaws by two levers; one for forward operating and the other for reverse operation. The load is held securely at all times.
    Hand-to-hand actions
