TIRFOR TU16 Winch,help required.

[Tyz05]

Where's the best place to get parts for Tirfor winch and what parts generally need replacing? Any ideas on cost to overhaul said winch? Thanks.

I'd swing in past your local rigging and lifting hire/repair shop and have a chat and they should be able to answer all your questions and might even cut a deal on spares ect

you are better of getting it inspected and tested. i believe that Turfor do have such a service , its a good idea as the machine comes back with with any required parts replaced and an up to date cert and you have a comeback if your using it and it fails .

I got some bits for my tirfor from stanton hope in Essex, very helpful.

It's very difficult to get spares (other than things like handles and shear pins) since Tractel has a policy of only supplying parts to approved service centres.

 

I have rebuilt two Tirfors completely but have the advantage of a very friendly and understanding local service centre who have sold me the parts.

 

It isn't an easy job to do (lots of springy bits etc) and unless you are really confident or have done it before you might be better off getting a dealer to do it. If you contact Tractel they'll tell you the nearest dealer to you.

Try Devon 4x4 they might be able to help you. don't have contact details but they have a website.
