The TIRFOR lightweight range: T500 series
 
The TIRFOR T500 machines are compact and lightweight. They are easy to handle and operate with a high mechanical advantage to lift, pull and position with unlimited length of wire rope. Carefully manufactured and assembled to very strict quality control standards, each machine is individually tested to 50% overload.

The TIRFOR T500 light duty range of machines is recommended where limited space and portability are important criteria. 		light1.jpg (17364 bytes)

TIRFOR: wire rope lifting and pulling machines.
In Germany, Tirfor is known as GREIFZUG and in North America as GRIPHOIST

The TIRFOR machine was invented and patented by Mr Simon Faure at the time of the second world war. The TIRFOR is a multipurpose manually operated wire rope lever hoist. It works by pulling directly on the rope, the pull applied by two pairs of jaws exerting a grip on the rope in proportion to the load lifted or pulled.

With minimum effort all sorts of operations can be performed easily.....pulling, lifting, lowering, tensioning....

Any length of rope may be used in a TIRFOR with operation always under the control of the user. Movement is controlled to the last millimetre and the equipment can be carried and operated by one man. The TIRFOR is of rugged construction requiring little maintenance.

The TIRFOR has several major advantages:

  • ease of handling and operation

  • any height of lift or length of pull

  • precise operation

  • operation in any direction
     

There's always a job for the TIRFOR machine!
