Tiger TRPA-54 Lifting Wire Rope Puller – Aluminium Casing

Wire Rope Puller

The Tiger manual wire rope puller is a hand operated lifting and pulling device. 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.

• Range from 800kg to 5400kg (Lifting Capacity)
• Lightweight manual pulling machines – simple and safe to operate
• Compact high-strength
• Corrosion free aluminium alloy casing
• Steel versions also available
• Usable at horizontal, vertical and angled working positions
• 20m steel wire with eye hook as standard
• Rope clamp system easily disengaged with a lever allowing smooth installation of wire rope
• Equipped with an anchor bolt offering numerous connection possibilities
• Overload protection built in, with a shearing pin in the forward lever
• Shear pins can be replaced without removing the load
• Spare shear pins supplied
• Parallel clamping system providing evenly distributed grip at a lower force, resulting in less rope wear
• Individually serial numbered for traceability
• Supplied with relevant certification and user instructions

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.
