The Transformeur adapts to any situation—just like a professional tree-care work does.
We designed it as a configurable friction kit that can be used in the littlest circumstances or the biggest rigging jobs.
The TRANSFORMEUR is a friction system that you can adjust according to the work to be done. It comes with one or two MINI-CYLINDRES (HR or old version), with a winch as an option.
Depending on what gear you already have, or to gear up progressively, there are several kits - most corresponding to work configurations. The Duo Kit is a good starter kit (plate + 2 MINI-CYLINDRES) and can be completed later on with the Winch Kit (Winch + winch plate). For those who already have a Mini-Cylindre, the Trio Kit (plate + 1 MINI-CYLINDRE + Winch) will level them up to a complete TRANSFORMEUR. Finally, the Platekit, it is perfect for companies who already use 2 MINI-CYLINDRES and would like to combine them for heavy rigging. The Winch Kit can bring the finishing touch.
Set up your system according to your exact needs. The only limit is your imagination!
The TRANSFORMEUR can be configured 3 ways according to the kind of work to be performed: the more the rope is wrapped, the harder the friction. What’s more, the symmetry of the system allows left or right location of the ground crew depending on the worksite restrictions.
| Machinery Directive | 2006/42/CE |
| Steel supports material | Supports are in 304L stainless steel (main plate, tubes and anchoring triangles, mono plate and winch plate). |
| Straps material | - Yellow main anchoring strap (lower): 100 % polyester, 9 m (29.52 ft), 15,000 daN MBS with ratchet (10,000 daN MBS) - Blue secondary strap (upper): 100 % polyester, 9 m (29.52 ft), 7,000 daN MBS with ratchet (5,000 daN MBS) |
| Main plate | 450 mm x 370 mm (17.71 in to 14.56 in)Upper lifting ring (DIN 580) the make attaching the plate easier by using the CROCH'TY (included) |
| Mini-Cylindre HR friction devices | in aluminium (the plate is compatible with the older generation MINI-CYLINDRES) |
| Manual winch and handle | Winch 44 TX - It can be used with ropes with diameters from 8 to 14 mm. |
| MBS | 100 kN / WLL: 20 kN (depending on configuration) |
| Diameters of ropes that can be used | 12 mm to 18 mm (0.47 in to 0.70 in) |
This configuration offers high friction capacity by using two MINI-CYLINDRES. You can use one or two MINI-CYLINDRES with one or two ropes. The winch is separate from the friction device and can be used alone or in addition to the MINI-CYLINDRES.
This configuration comes with a single MINI-CYLINDRE, one mono plate (replacing the second MINI-CYLINDRE) and a winch (44 XT). It’s the ideal set up to change your friction device and go from the MINI-CYLINDRE to a more advanced system allowing easier lifting of branches.
This configuration does not include the winch and should be used on worksites not requiring winching. Nevertheless, it provides many friction solutions (one or two ropes, etc.).
