Tractel UK celebrates 60 years

Lifting equipment, suspended access and height safety manufacturer Tractel UK has celebrated its 60th anniversary.

Originally founded in 1954 as Tirfor, for its Tirfor manual hoists (which are still in production today), the company developed its suspended access division in 1978 and its height safety division in 1996. It also introduced its Minifor winch in 1979, its Tirak hoist in 1981, its Dynafor load indicators in 1982 and finally its Tralift chain blocks in 1987.
