Tirfor winch, griphoist with cable - ?110

This is my trusty TU8 Tirfor winch/hoist which I am selling. I bought it new to do one job and that was to pull down and exract 7 Leylandii Cyprus trees plus remove their roots from the soil.


The Tirfor has many uses. From winching out 4x4's when they get stuck to lifting and shifting heavy loads. It is the preferred winch of choice for tree surgeons etc who want a winch that can lift and lower under load at any time. It acn be used with jockey pulleys to multiply it's nominal capacity to move loads of around 3.5 tons.


This particular winch was origigially unused Army surplus- hence the olive green paint is flaking off because the Army did not apply a primer coat before painting it olive green.


It is in perfect condition and comes with 20 metres of 8.5mm high tensile galvanised steel cable and a jockey pulley.


It is ready to go to work.


So if you are planning a Land Rover Safari, pulling down trees, lifting out car engines etc etc , this is the tool for you

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
