Lifting Capacity: 800 kg to 5,400 kg Swl

Pulling Capacity: 1,200 kg to 8,000 kg Swl

The Tiger manual wire rope puller is a hand operated lifting and pulling hoist. The puller could also be used for lowering, tensioning and guying which makes it a versatile, portable and multipurpose tool.

These units meet and exceed all the requirements within BS EN 13157:2004+A1:2009.

The Tiger TRPA hoist has been designed to allow the wire rope clamping mechanism to be disengaged when no load is applied whihc in turn allows the equipment operator free pulling of the wire rope as required.

The principle function of the wire puller is that the rope passes through mechanical jaws rather than being reeled on a drum of a puller or conventional winch. The tension of the rope is applied by means of two pairs of self-energised jaws which apply a grip onto the wire rope in sections. The effort is transferred to the jaws by two parallel levers, one for forward operation and the other for reverse operation. A telescopic bar, fitted to either the forward or reverse lever, transmits the effort to the jaw mechanism. This parallel clamping system provides an evenly distributed grip at a lower force, resulting in less rope wear. The load is held securely at all times.

The wire rope puller comes with a telescopic operating handle* and 20 metres of wire rope fitted with an eye-type hook as standard. Any length of rope can be supplied to your requirements. Alternatively the wire rope puller is available as a machine only, without wire rope. (*the operating handle with the 800kg TRPA/TRPS is not telescopic)

Increase the Pulling and Lifting Capacity:

Various methods of rigging are shown. For the correct and incorrect method refer to figures 1 and 2. Other methods of rigging will increase the capacity of the machine – refer to figures 3 and 4.

In examples 3 and 4 the maximum working load limit (WLL) of the pulley and anchor point shall be equal to or greater than two times the WLL.

NOTE: When the wire rope puller is anchored directly to a fixed point, ensure that there are no obstructions around the machine which could prevent the wire rope, puller and anchor from operating in a straight line.

It is recommended to use a sling of similar capacity between the anchor point and the unit.

WARNING: Any rigging configuration which requires the calculation of forces applied should be checked by a competent engineer, with special attention to the strength of the fixed point used.

Certification

Each unit comes fully certified with a test certificate or an EC Declaration of Conformity stating compliance with the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
