A Tirfor winch is designed to pull wire rope or cable through a pair of mechanically operated jaws. This happens by manually cranking a lever up and down. This manoeuvre the jaws around the rope, advancing it through the jaws at precise intervals.
Think of the action as a sailor pulling a rope in a hand over hand fashion. This is exactly what the jaws do. Depending on which lever is operated (or forward or reverse mode applied) a Tirfor can also be operated in the opposite direction. And so a forwards or backwards movement is possible.

One of the main benefits of a Tirfor Winch is that it can be used in any position, unlike the majority of other types of hoisting equipment. This means they are perfect for lifting, pulling and tensioning tasks. What's more the capacity of the device can be increased by the use of one or more sheave blocks.
Tirfor's are simple devices and need minimal maintenance, keep them clean and lubricated and your device will last a long time.
A specific type of wire rope is required for a Tirfor winch, Lifting Gear Direct can supply these in any length you need. The rope is easy to feed in and remove so its quick and easy to set up and get going.
Safety is great as the jaws will hold the load in place as soon as you stop moving the lever. There is also a safety device in place to prevent overloading.
