The models are the TR10, TR30, TR30s & TR50 which have lifting capacities of 100kg, 300kg & 500kg respectively. The TR30s differs from the TR30 by speed only – the TR30s has a much faster lifting speed of 13 metres per minute; (the TR30 is 5 metres per minute).

These portable wire rope hoists have a superb weight to power ratio and in-built handle for easy carrying/handling. They all incorporate robust alloy aluminium casings, swivel suspension hooks and a braking system which is incorporated into the motor. They are quick and easy to set up ready for use and have both upper and lower limit end stops. These machines use 6.5mm diameter wire rope which can be in any length; it is recommended that only the special maxiflex wire rope is used.

Each model can be supplied in either 110v or 230v, with the TR30s & TR50 also having 400v options.

The TR10 & TR30 models have the option of adding on a cable reeler for easy winding of up to 40 metres of wire rope. Additionally smaller reelers are available to keep the total weight and size to a minimum. As well as these options, radio control systems and sheave block sets are also available. The TR30s & TR50 can have radio control, but not reelers.

Minifor TR125 SY synthetic rope hoist

The TR125 SY is the synthetic rope version of these hoists. Essentially is ideal for use when wire rope is not appropriate. Therefore it was developed primarily for use during repair operations.  The TR125 SY is just as compact and lightweight as the standard hoists and so is just as easy to carry around to wherever it may be needed.

There are 5 model options to choose from with tension voltage from 115 to 690v and with operating speeds of up to 30 metres per minute. Both speed and Torque are kept steady throughout operation. They are operated via a push button control hand set that comes as standard, however a wireless remote controller is available. The synthetic rope used in these hoists (available separately) is of a 9.4mm diameter. It has the options of latched hook, self-locking hook or a self locking swivel hook. The lower weight  of a synthetic rope is a major benefit to the user, as it dramatically lowers the weight of the whole unit; another great benefit of synthetic rope is its greater flexibility and less prone to damage and deterioration. Only this recommended rope should be used with the TR125 SY.
