Overview
Winch Hire — Hydraulic and Tirfor Pulling Power Across the UK
The lifting and pulling winches including front and rear mount hydraulic 3–5 tonne units, plus TU8, TU16 and TU32 Tirfor grip winches with wire rope cables provides a reliable solution for vehicle recovery, pulling cable through ducts, dragging plant into position, tensioning wire rope, forestry and agricultural pulling tasks. Each unit features steel drum hydraulic winches with synthetic or wire rope, Tirfor aluminium alloy body with hardened steel jaw mechanism and wire rope designed for long-term reliability in British conditions, making this hire ideal for both commercial and residential applications throughout the United Kingdom.
Construction and Design
- Vehicle-mounted hydraulic winches from 3T to 5T suit British pickup and 4x4 chassis
- Front and rear mount options for recovery and site pulling configurations
- Tirfor TU8 (800kg), TU16 (1.6T) and TU32 (3.2T) are manual portable pullers
- Wire rope lengths matched to typical UK duct and draw pit distances
- Hydraulic units powered from vehicle PTO or standalone power pack
- Tirfor operates in any direction—horizontal, vertical and angled pulls
Safety Standards
- Never step over live wire rope under tension
- Use rated shackles and slings—Tirfor capacity reduces with multiple sheave passes
- Damper blanket required on wire rope for vehicle recovery on UK roads
- LOLER applies when winch is used for lifting rather than pulling
- Inspect rope for broken strands and kinks before each operation
