1. INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
OF EQUIPMENT
The JOCKEY ™ machine is a hand-operated lifting and
pulling machine. It is versatile, portable and multi-pur-
pose, not only for pulling and lifting but also for lowering,
tensioning and guying.
The originality of the TIRFOR
operation directly on the wire rope which passes through
the mechanism rather than being reeled onto a drum of a
hoist or conventional winch. The pull is applied by means
of two pairs of self energised jaws which exert a grip on the
wire rope in proportion to the load being lifted or pulled. A
telescopic operating lever fitted to either the forward or the
reverse lever transmits the effort to the jaw mechanism to
give forward or reverse movement of the wire rope.
The machine is fitted with a hook or anchor pin, depen-
ding on the model, so that it can be secured quickly to any
suitable anchor point.
The JOCKEY ™ machines, intended for lifting and pulling
materials, are available in two models :
– Jockey ™ capacity 300 kg,
– Jockey J5 capacity 500 kg.
