1. INTRODUCTION
The scafor™ is a lightweight manual hoist which has
been especially designed for light suspended platforms
fitted with two hoists or for bosun's chairs or one-man
cradles fitted with a single hoist.
The wire ropes (lifting and safety) are not stored within
the unit; therefore the working height is only limited by
the rope's length.
The scafor™ is manufactured according the current
safety regulations (EC type-examination certificate by
Apave France).
