Available in a variety of models, the T500 can safely handle loads ranging from 800kg to 3200kg, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of tasks. From small-scale lifting and tensioning to heavier industrial jobs, the T500’s versatility ensures the right capacity for your application.
All-Direction Lifting and Pulling
The T500 hoist allows safe operation in any direction, whether vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. By using diverter pulleys, operators can easily redirect the wire rope for added flexibility and precise load placement, making it perfect for tasks that require millimetre-accurate positioning or structural alignment.
Built-In Overload Protection
Safety is paramount on any job site. The Tirfor T500 is equipped with shear pins that automatically shut down the hoist in the event of an overload, protecting both the operator and the equipment. Spare pins are included as standard, ensuring continued safety and minimal downtime.
Telescopic Control Lever for Ergonomic Operation
Designed for comfort and precision, the telescopic control lever allows operators to manipulate loads safely and efficiently. This feature reduces strain during manual operation while enabling precise load placement, critical for emergency rescue, construction alignment, and tensioning tasks.
Secure Release System
The T500 includes a controlled load release mechanism, allowing operators to disengage safely, even under tension. This ensures complete control over lowering operations, providing confidence when performing complex or hazardous maneuvers.
Durable Low-Wear Clamping Jaws
The innovative clamping jaw system reduces wear on wire ropes, extends equipment lifespan, and minimizes the need for maintenance. Combined with high-strength construction, this ensures that the Tirfor T500 remains reliable and durable for long-term use.
Precision Load Placement
Engineered for accuracy, the Tirfor T500 hoist enables millimetre-precise positioning, essential in structural alignment, rigging, and controlled lifting or lowering scenarios. Whether on construction sites or during rescue operations, the hoist provides the control needed for delicate or high-stakes tasks.
