Swing Staging's Commitment

The SCAFOR and TU17 Models

TIRFOR TU17

The TIRFOR TU17 is Swing Staging's most popular mechanical man-riding hoist. Produced by Tractel, the TU17 is a multipurpose manually operated wire rope lever hoist. It works by pulling directly on the rope with two pairs of jaws exerting a grip on the rope in proportion to the load lifted or pulled. Any length of rope may be used and operation is under the control of the user. Movement is controlled to the last millimeter and the equipment can be carried and operated by one man.

Some of the advantages of using a TIRFOR machine include:

• Ease of handling and operation
• Any height of lift or length of pull
• Precise operation
• Operation in any direction
