REAL Tirfor T-532

**dobbo** · 10th August 2006, 02:43 PM

I checked it out today, WAY to big. Has a max rating of 5t. To big for me. They didn't have the Tirfors in stock and are awaiting a new shipment and doesn't know the new price structure. However he quoted me for a different brand made in Japan and assures that the quality is equal to the Tirfor's.

Brand is ALBA

model: A8, A16, A32

Pull kgs: 1250, 2500, 5000

Lift Kgs: 800, 1600, 3200

rope length: 20, 20, 20

rope diameter mm: 8.3, 11.3, 16.3

weight of winch: 6.4, 13.7, 23.7

Price with rope 550, 680, 1415

I have decided this is a futile excercise due to the lack of interest. Perhaps I'll just nick Ace's I know it hasn't been used yet, and if I break it it's cost me nothing

I was about to suggest you hold your fire Dobbo, 'cause I was in Repco today and they said they have a sale starting next week which includes a hand winch (and electric winches). Catalogue is not out yet so I don't have any specs but I think the hand winch is ~$330.

mmmmmmmmmmm interesting how much did Ace pay I'd have to beat his price

According to this thread - http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread.php't=29101
- he paid $349.

Yeah but the ones for 330 only pull 500kg.

Thats ok for dobbo he only needs to recover a rocky.

So what model of Maxi-Trac did you end up with Ace? The ones they said were going on sale looked like the same box that yours came in.
(Couldn't be 500Kg surely? I've got a little cheapo hand winch in the garage that you could fit in a shoebox and that's 'rated' at 1000Kg.)

I was being a smart bottom Dave, mine pulls 2600kg i thing and lifts 1600kg's so i could lift 3 rocky's.

Or your own ego (maybe)

Went down to Repco to pick up their sale catledog today. They have winches listed but the prices don't seem to have changed since Ace bought his ....

E.g.
No-name 12V electric winch 9500lb 5.5hp/4.0kW motor w. remote controller and 4-way fairlead - $899.

Maxi-Trac Hand Winch kit (incl. storage bags and gloves) 2500kg hauling capacity, 20m of 11mm wire cable, AS1418.2 compliant - $349

The hand winch is tempting me...
