Tirfor or Rossendale Safelift?

(1/2) > >>

The Pirate:
I'm after some advise please as to which hand winch I should go for.

I've made contact with a guy selling these via ebay and I've been offered a used Rossendale or a Tirfor 1.6 tonne model for £80 plus the cable.

Anyone know which is the best option as the guy I've been talking to says that the Rossendale is the better machine?

I've also been offered a new Rossendale 1.6 tonne for £100.

Any comments please?

Buy a Hi-Lift and the winching kit plus some 10mm chain, all you ever need really.

Have you never owned a Turfer? I have a high lift with hook back chains and the only time I had to use it as a winch I kicked myself for not putting the Turfer in the truck. Hi-lifts are a good multi purpous tool but you realy can't beat a Tirfor for a long straight pull in any direction. Its quick and easy to set up, relativly safe, and less hard work. Still a good workout mind.

Not sure I'd agree.  All you ever need if you're planning on winching 2 feet at a time, but for safe, reliable hand winching over almost any distance, I'll stick with me Tirfor thanks!
