Tractel Scafor Hand-Operated Hoist for suspended access / come along

Hand operated SCAFOR machine for suspended access has been designed to ensure the maximum safety of the user. The SCAFOR is adaptable to almost all types of stirrups, so that the SCAFOR can be fitted to existing cradles and platforms. Applications: The SCAFOR hoist can be fitted to–painters cradles,–bosuns chairs and one-man cradles,–platforms with fixed or articulated stirrups. The SCAFOR fits either directly to the stirrups of ALTA cradles or with an adaptor to stirrups of other platforms. The lifting rope as well as the safety rope pass through the machine. Advantages: The principle of the wire rope passing through the machine gives the SCAFOOR three important advantages:–constant effort on the operating handles whatever the height of lift (no drum on which to reel the wire rope);–unlimited height of lift with fast and easy insertion of the appropriate length of wire rope;–long operating life of the wire rope which is coiled on a separate reeler, with less risk of injury. Also, with the design of the SCAFOR, it is lightweight (11 kg), compact, easy for testing and maintenance and has a long working life. Safety: The self-gripping mechanism of the SCAFOR exerts a grip on the rope which is proportional to the load being lifted. The integrated safety mechanism with the SCAFOR automatically locks onto the safety rope when there is no load on the lifting rope. In an emergency, there is the red lever which locks the jaws onto the safety rope.
