The Tirfor T500 Series is a range of portable manual machines designed for lifting, pulling and tensioning operations across a wide range of industries. Operated by a telescopic lever and using a wire rope passed through the unit, the Tirfor offers unlimited rope length and consistent control in forward and reverse motion.
This series includes models such as T508D, T516D and T532D, each engineered with safety shear pins and heavy-duty control levers. Units feature high Working Load Limits (up to 3,200 daN), with strong performance in both lifting and tension applications. The robust design allows for operation in any position and over long distances.
Tirfor T500 units are commonly used in civil engineering, utilities, rail, and maintenance sectors. Their mechanical simplicity, field serviceability and independent operation make them ideal for use in remote locations or environments without access to power sources. Compatible wire ropes and spare safety shear pins are available for continued safety and performance.
