Tractel "TU-P" Man-riding Tirfor Cable Puller

This range of man-riding certified Tirfors is available in three different capacities: 600kg, 1200kg, and 2400kg. The capacity selected will suit the lifting platform on 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, fitted to a separate/independent rope, thus providing a fall arrest plan. Consideration must also be given to having a rescue plan in place.

Important: Standard Tractel Tirfor TU cable pullers (TU-8, TU-16 and TU-32) 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 around 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.
