Tirfor®
Tirfor: Proven quality for decades, brand name and market leader – often copied never equalled
The Tirfor principle
- Two jaws alternatively pull the wire rope and the load in the required direction, like pulling a rope hand over hand.
- The jaws are self-gripping providing safe operation.
- The heavier the load, the tighter the jaws will grip.
- By operating the unlocking mechanism, the wire rope can be inserted or removed from between the jaws.
Multifunctional
- Work can be carried out in any direction: horizontally, vertically or at an angle.
- No theoretical limit to the wire rope length.
- Manually operated for use almost anywhere.
- Motorised versions available.
Safe and reliable
- Constant control over loads during lifting and lowering with millimetre accuracy.
- When the hoist stops, the load will be automatically distributed over the two jaws.
- Overload protection.
Increasing the WLL
- The Tirfor’s WLL can be increased by a factor of 2, 3, 4 or more by using sheave blocks.
- When calculating the WLL for sheaved systems, allow for a WLL loss of 4% per sheave block, caused by friction.

Maxiflex red strand wire rope fitted with hook/shackle
Wire rope is an integral component of every hoist and winch supplied by Tractel (except our chain hoists, of course). Selecting the correct wire rope and following a routine maintenance and inspection program will ensure
that your hoists operate efficiently for many years.
Using the red strand wire rope in all of our manual and powered hoists will ensure the highest level of performance for your equipment. red strand wire rope is specifically developed and constructed for use in Tractel products.
Proper selection will ensure the maximum possible wire rope service life. This is a requirement in situations where the load can spin freely or when reelers are used.
Maxiflex wire rope is also available per metre. Ask our Customer Service for the possibilities.
