Mounting traction mechanism Tirfor® TU series

One of the flagship products of the French company Tractel® - tirfor® - is known throughout the world as the BEST MOUNTING AND TRACTION MECHANISM (MTM), which is sometimes also called a “frog”, capable of working in any position, at any lifting height with an unlimited length of rope and in any conditions. Tirfor® is safe, reliable and effective. Best suited for long climbs where high reliability and increased load capacity are required. The winch is easy to mount, has overload protection and requires less effort than other installation and traction mechanisms.

Tirfor® is particularly well suited for rescue operations. Fire rescue teams around the world rely on tirfor® to safely retrieve stuck vehicles or move heavy equipment causing unsafe conditions. Tirfor® can be operated by one person and is easy to install and use. It is also a reliable tool for tree removal in agricultural environments.

Tirfor® is one of the most versatile Tractel® products available in materials handling and people handling models. It can be used in lifting work platforms or overhead platforms, pulling cables, erecting steel silos, loading or unloading heavy equipment, erecting escalators, installing transformers, raising and lowering tents, and inspecting and maintaining various structures. When used in conjunction with a dynafor™ dynamometer, this is the ideal solution for anchor point force control.
