1600KGS 2500KGS Wire Rope Hoist Winch - Tirfor Type Lifting Pulling

 

Have had one of these for years, can't fault it, does only get used about once a month, too pull out hung up trees, gone through a few shear pins though normally on big ugly beech

[Stubby]

Got the Yale . ( Tirfor copy ) comes out now and then . Works a treat .

i got the jet winch,cant fault it ,earned what it cost ten time over,and i`ve pulled some big leaners back over ,as for loler only needs testing if used for lifting was what i was told.

If you can afford a tirfor get one as the quality is top notch and they last forever and hold their value too.

 

I use to have a jet hoist winch until some relived me of it. Couldn't fault it did what it needed to do and ment i spent a lot less. 90% of the time have a 3pl winch around so haven't bothered to replace it.

Tirfor everytime!

We have the heavy duty big Tifor and the Tu16 . Also bought a small 800kg jet winch . The winch which is used the most by far is the Tu16 . I find the big heavy duty Tifor is hard work ie pulling the cable through and just carrying the blighter about. If I had to choose one out of the three above for general tree work it would be the Tu16 Tirfor .

if your tirfor doesnt have a handle on it, then get 1! makes such a diference. nothing i can do about the wire rope though! or the strops, or the shackles, or the chains:001_rolleyes:

Ace winch which is another name for the Jet winch. Had it over 2 years now 1.6 lift, 2.5 pull as mentioned above.

 

Cant fault it and has been used many times. Get a bag of shear pins if you get one, although I've only burst one, and that was with two of us pulling on the handle at full extent.

 

Easy to dismantle, clean and regrease.

 

Securefix Direct as the link above. They do strops too. (other shops are available - think Jonesie does them too)

Didnt know the big heavy duty Tirfor had a carry handle ? Spot on with the shackle , strops n all

Lug alls are a compact winch and are very light and are ideal for hung up softwoods...

 

Tend to be less power but less weight...

 

Mine is 500kg pull I think.. The one with blue handles..

 

The red handle ones are slightly bigger at about 1500-2000 kg pull?!

 

eBay search them I was going to buy one new from the USA for about £150 inc. p+p if memory serves..

 

I got a used one from eBay for £80 all in.. Just save it in your searches so when one comes up you know..
