Tractel Griphoist / Tirfor T508D Manual Wire Rope Hoist – 1 Ton Capacity, No Wire Rope Included

Product Description

The Griphoist / Tirfor T508D (Unit only, no wire rope) is a heavy-duty, manual wire rope hoist designed for safe and efficient lifting, pulling, and tensioning in industrial, construction, utility, and rescue applications. This portable, lever-operated hoist provides precise load control and dependable performance even in challenging environments.

Unlike standard chain hoists or winches, the T508D uses a continuous pass-through wire rope, allowing unlimited lifting or pulling distances as needed. The compact body and lightweight design make it easy to transport and deploy, while its self-gripping jaws hold the load securely at any point, preventing drift or slippage. Operators can work in horizontal, vertical, or angled positions, making the unit highly versatile in the field.

The hoist is equipped with a telescopic operating lever that delivers strong mechanical advantage, enabling one person to handle demanding loads with manageable effort. Built-in shear pins provide overload protection, while dual jaw mechanisms lock the rope in place whenever the operator pauses. This ensures controlled movement and added safety on the job.

With its rugged build, straightforward maintenance, and proven reliability, the Griphoist / Tirfor T508D is a trusted choice for rigging crews, contractors, and emergency response teams who require dependable manual hoisting power.
