Application: Installation of lifts
Customer: Thyssen-Aufzüge,

Equipment: TIRAK T-1000 hoist on frame
Description of application:
In order to carry out installation work inside the lift shaft,
the working platform, i.e. the lift cabin, is operated by
a TIRAK (2) placed at the top of the shaft.

The wire rope is guided by a sheave (1) fixed near the
TIRAK with the end anchored at the top.
A counterweight is suspended by means of a sheave
block (7) to the loopformed.
In this case the use of a BLOCSTOP on an additional
safety wire rope is not necessary, since there is already
the parachute safety device (4) for the elevator.

Application: Lifting elevator driving mechanism
Site:
Colonia residential building,
Cologne/Germany
Equipment: 4 hydraulic TIRFOR TU-16H machines,
2 electric-hydraulic power packs
Description of application:
Problem:
The Colonia Building in Cologne is a 45 storey high residential
tower. Four elevator drive mechanisms had to be installed
on the 45th floor. These mechanisms weighing 4.2 tons
each, were raised by a crane up to the 42nd floor and had
to be brought up, from there, to the top floor.
546
Solution:
The problem was solved by using 4 TIRFOR TU-16H units
of 1600 kg capacity each, motorised by hydraulic rams.
These hydraulic TU-16H machines were operated in pair
by means of 2 portable electro-hydraulic power packs. The
speed of each TU-16H could, at all times, be individually
controlled from 0 to 2 meters per minute max. The TIRFOR
were fixed to a ceiling beam above the machine shop floor.
The wire ropes were dropped down through an aperture, to
the 42nd floor where they were attached by means of
shackles to the 4 corners of the driving mechanisms.
The operator then only had to use the control valves to
ensure a precise and gentle lifting of the load.

The suspended platform serves to lower personnel to a
work level (depth: 40 meters). Since it travels along a quarry
face slightly inclined to the vertical, it is guided sideways by
2 wire ropes.
To protect personnel against folling rock, a roof has been
fitted on the platform. It is further equipped with a locking
device which allows it to be locked in the high position and
affords the required stability when the personnel leave the
platform.

Application: Emergency rescue platform in household waste
disposal plant.
Site:
Household waste disposal plant,
Kassel/Germany
Customer: Steingass & Sohn, Solingen/Germany
Equipment: 1 ALTA mono suspended platform, fitted with
TIRAK T-500 hoist, BLOCSTOP safety device, 2
wire rope reelers and a TIRFOR hand operated
machine.
Description of application:
As the unloading ramp for the refuse lorries is not protected by
a guard rail, it could hapen that a person or even a vehicle could
fall into the dump.
To meet any such eventuality, the management have installed
an emergency rescue platform, suspended from an overhead
monorail system and allowing fast access to the bottom of the
dump.
A stretcher arrangement is fitted under the floor panel of the
cradle to rescue the injured person in case of a serious
accident.
Even in the event of a power failure, the system can still be
operated, using the hand operated TIRFOR suspended cradle
equipment, with which the cradle is also fitted.

Description of application:
Following an international bid, we secured an
important order for the supply of 11 materials hoists
to be erected on the ORAN University Site in Algeria.
They were used over heights of up to 60 meters for the
supply of internal building materials like sanitary,
plumbing, electrical and flooring goods.
These machines offer an unusual loading surface (6 m x
1.20 m). The platform is lifted by two TIRAK T-1000 M
machines placed on ground level and guided by two
masts.
The controls use micro-processors and have a digital
floor-level display.

Installation of 7 escalators,
weight 9 tons,
Department store, Berlin/Germany
OTIS GmbH, Berlin
The installation of this elevators offered a splendid opportunity
for demonstrating the versatility and advantages of the
motorised TIRFOR TU-16H.
The escalators were delivered by special trucks and unloaded
by crane. As each escalator was unloaded, guide wheels were
fitted to it for ease of manoeuverability. The escalator was then
hung by its motorised end at the top from four pulleys, raised
slightly, and tensioned by means of a reeved manually operated
TIRFOR attached to its lower end to guard against excess
loading. In this way the escalator assembly could be gently
moved, in a horizontal position, into the shaft.
Once in the shaft, two motorised TU-16H's were attached to set
the escalator at the right angle and then hoist the whole
structure to a point just higher than its final mountings. It was
then possible to position the escalators precisely, without
changing the rams. This operation was repeated for each of
ascending escalators.
To install the 3 descending escalators in the same shaft, but in
a vertical plane parallel to the first, all that was required was to
move the motorised TU-16H's and snatch blocks to new
position. Once the new anchorage points had been established,
this second part of the operation was carried ou as quickly and
simply as the first.
The operation as a whole was a difficult one, involving precise
timing and co-ordination between the operators. However, by
using motorised TIRFOR TU-16H machines, the total installation time was cut by half, and only two men were required to
operate the hoists. Furthermore, as there was no undue fatigue,
the work schedule was uninterrupted.
Large escalator installers throughout the world use motorised
TIRFOR (see reference list M-043).
