The Tirak is a traction hoist – it drives the Tirak wire rope without reeling it in.
For you, this means:
You can lift as far or as high as you want.
A complete series of Tirak models offers load capacities from below 300 kg up to 2.000 kg for man riding. The low weight of the Tirak permits the system to have a higher rated load.
Thanks to the Tirak rope pass-through design, unlimited wire rope lengths are theoretically possible, making the Tirak a flexible option for every application.
All Tirak systems intended for man-riding are equipped with integrated overload protection which reliably shuts down the Tirak in the event of overloading.
The highest safety standards apply when man-riding. Certified to EN1808 by an independent testing authority, the Tirak hoist fulfils all of these requirements.
Our standardised periodic inspection and maintenance regime ensures that Tirak hoists are always in the optimal condition.
The cost of maintenance and replacement parts of Tirak hoists is lower than those of comperable machines.
The single rope drive system ensures that very few parts are in contact with the wire rope, which protects the machine from wear, but also ensures a long service life for the wire rope.
The X-series models use a single traction sheave to move the rope. The rope runs through a fittingly-sized groove in the traction sheave and is also pressed into place by means of a pressure system.
This further increases the true load-bearing capacity to ensure even greater safety. At a particular point on the traction sheave the incoming and outgoing ropes cross over, lending the X-series its name.
The T-series is the first model in the Tirak range and works with two traction sheaves. The wire rope runs through the two traction sheaves along an S-shaped path.
The symmetrical design of the T-series makes these the only models capable of pulling in both directions with the same force. As such, they are ideal for use in all horizontal tasks where loads need to be moved back and forth. The T-series is only available for material handling.
The T series can pull in both directions thanks to the two traction sheaves.
In case of horizontal applications the Tirak is able to pull a multiple of its WLL, depending on the roll resistance of the pulled unit on the rails.
Please ask our Tractel engineering for the evaluation of the final WLL of your individual application.
The Tirak hoist can either be attached to a fixed mounting in order to pull the load on the wire rope or the rope is fixed and the Tirak moves along the rope with the load. A wide range of accessories is available for attaching the Tirak or the load, to suit the requirements of your application.
If the Tirak utilizes a fixed mounting then deflection rollers can be used to guide or reeve the rope.
So that the right Tirak solution can be found for every task.
Tractel has more than 50 years of experience in the development of tailor-made solutions, both for temporary and permanent access.
Based on the Tirak our engineers are able to formulate innovative and technically demanding access solutions.
The Tractel product range includes a large selection of suspended working platforms with which workers can be efficiently transported with their tools and material to the correct height and ergonomically positioned.
With the Tirak at the heart of every system, you can rely on the tested safety and proven reliability of this special hoist during these applications too.
Of course, the Tirak is not only restricted to man riding.
Its special advantages are
enable easy handling and simplify the integration of the Tirak hoist into the company‘s own applications, thus increasing productivity and efficiency.
A complete series of Tirak models offers load capacities from below 300 kg up to 3000 kg for material handling.
The mobile hoists are the logical supplement to the Tirak series.
Tirak hoists can be equipped with a mobile frame in order to provide them with better protection against day-to-day damage or for easier transport.
This simplifies the handling of larger hoists or models fitted with a wire rope reeler, in particular, and reliably protects the Tirak against hard impacts. A separate wire rope reeler can also be integrated into the frame if especially long ropes need to be wound up or stored.
You will find Tirak applications in a wide range of industries. Please see what other products Tractel offers for these industries.
During man-riding applications, an additional fall arrest system (or called secondary brake) in accordance with EN 1808/UL1323 is mandatory. Such a fall arrest system is used to secure the work basket or the platform on which personnel are working against falling.
It is small, light and compact and attached to the working platform where the safety wire rope runs through it. If the movement of the load wire rope exceeds a specified speed then the Blocstop triggers automatically and securely catches the load. The safety wire rope is held between the clamping jaws, preventing the rope from slipping any further. The surface of the clamping jaws is large enough to prevent damage to the wire rope.
The Blocstop is designed in such a way that the clamping jaws grip tighter, the higher the load on the wire rope.
The Blocstop family includes two models: the BSO and the BSA. The difference is....
When a material-only load is being lifted or lowered, it may be important to add a secondary safety device to make sure that the load cannot fall in the event of an incident. For example when the load falling could endanger people in the vicinity. This is also the case when the load or the area underneath the load has a significant value and requires protection.
