Tirfor ID please

What have I got then?

Plate is long missing.

Number stamped in one side of the casing reads R14934.

Other side SWL is stamped as 30 cwt.

 

I need a proper handle for it, scaffold pole is crap, and what I presume was a roll pin which retains the end of the freespool lever has broken.

 

Anywhere I could source these bits? Tractel seem to be no help and have not responded to my emails.

 

Thanks!

You have an old style 1.5ton tirfor.

 

Tractel don't do emails - they're struggling to cope with 1980s technology, let alone anything more recent. You need to ring them up and they will fax you the parts list. They are very helpful by phone.

 

Speedy Hire are agents for Tractel. They sometimes even have the parts lists available. Your local branch can definitely get a handle. Mine managed to get all the parts to refurbish a 1970 5ton model for me, all on 24hr delivery, including a new handle.

Perfect thanks, we have an account with Speedy, I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Can you remember the cost of your replacement handle Alec?

Thanks, Simon

About £60+vat I think. It was a few years back, but I needed another part last year and still had no problem (my local Speedy gave it to me as they couldn't be bothered to calculate the postage fees!)
