Winch.. Tirfor or...?

Assume these dont come under LOLAR ? Suppose its used for lifting? But not a person of course!

sadly yes. But it's not too bad. Check our these guys. http://www.aplifting.com/#/index.cfm/news/ap-lifting-gives-a-fresh-face-to-www/

Thanks, but to be fair, with the strains on the wire Id rather it be checked. Seen very heavy gauge wire rope part when in the Navy, very scary...

I have a Tirfor Tu16 and a lugall.

 

IMHO: I had a Jet style winch it was five ton and was not a patch on the smaller Tirfor (1.6t lift/3.2t pull)

 

The TU16 can be bought for £100 and is a very safe bet. Light enough to carry strong enough to pull some big stuff over safely.

 

The 'tirfor like' winches are 'okay' but not something that's advised. The smaller ones may he better. The 5 ton one took ages to winch in and weighed what it could pull.

 

Tifor £ for £ is the way forward..

 

They do seems the business, used one a couple of times and was impressed.

 

First price new on a TU16 i found was about £700! Still wading through the google search.

Jet winch looks bang on the money. Say your happy with yours?

 

Very happy with my jet winch, and I have used tirfors. Bought mine from landmark trading arb supplies.

I picked up a little lug-all at an auction - its been a godsend and is light to carry around takes up a lot less space than a tirfor (which we also have) but obviously is intended for lighter use.

 

Horses for courses but for a little pull in the right direction they are hard to beat

I have 2 and even though they may sit in the garage 90% of the time they do have there place in the tree game. Worth their weight in gold defo.

 

With gold at £24,000 a kilo, a tu-32 would be worth £648,000 not including the wire

What are the lug winches, has anyone any photos? What sort of pulling force have they?

 

I think tirfor winches are superb for the right job. Not bad for pulling your motor out if you get stuck.
