Tractel Griphoist / Tirfor TU28 Manual Wire Rope Hoist – 2 Ton Capacity (Hoist Body Only)
Tractel Griphoist / Tirfor TU28 Manual Wire Rope Hoist – 2 Ton Capacity (Hoist Body Only)
Product Description
The Tractel Griphoist / Tirfor TU28 is a tough high-capacity manual hoist designed for demanding lifting, pulling, and tensioning applications. With a nominal capacity of 4,000 lbs (2 tons), it delivers exceptional power for construction, industrial rigging, utilities, and rescue operations.
The TU28 uses a continuous pass-through wire rope system, which means there is no limitation on the distance it can operate — rope length can be customized to suit the job. Its dual-jaw gripping system automatically locks at every point, providing operators with safe and precise control during use.
This model is supplied as the hoist body only, allowing customers to configure their own rope assemblies according to their specific application needs. Compact, and engineered for professional use, the TU28 Griphoist/Tirfor is the perfect choice for environments that require reliable manual lifting power without electricity.
