Tractel Griphoist / Tirfor TU17 Manual Wire Rope Hoist – 1 Ton Capacity, 60 ft (18 m) Assembly

Product Description

The Tractel Griphoist / Tirfor TU17, equipped with a 60 ft (18 m) wire rope assembly, is a lightweight, portable hoist designed for safe and reliable lifting, pulling, and tensioning tasks. With a 2,000 lb (1 ton) capacity, this hoist is well-suited for construction, industrial maintenance, utility work, rescue operations, and general material handling.

Unlike traditional chain hoists, the TU17 utilizes a continuous pass-through wire rope system, enabling it to handle virtually unlimited rope lengths. The included 60 ft assembly provides extended reach, while additional lengths can be added as needed.

Its dual jaw gripping mechanism locks automatically at every point, ensuring safe load control whether pulling horizontally, lifting vertically, or operating at an angle. A telescopic lever provides the user with an added mechanical advantage, enabling heavy-duty lifting with controlled effort. Built-in shear pins provide overload protection, safeguarding both the operator and the hoist.

Compact, rugged, and field-ready, the Griphoist / Tirfor TU17 – 60 ft assembly is the practical choice for professionals who need dependable manual power in environments where mechanical handling or powered hoists are not feasible.
