Tractel designs, manufactures and markets lifting & handling material, load measurement devices, temporary & permanent access solutions and antifall safety equipment.
The Tractel Group was born in 1941. Tractel first successes started when it acquired a license for the TIRFOR® hoist, a pulling and lifting machine that operates with a wire rope passing through the machine. At the time, the TIRFOR® hoist was a revolution as it made it far easier to manoeuvre various types of load. Tractel never stopped improving the TIRFOR® and the numerous patents are a testimony to the functional and industrial application improvements made over time.
