Tractel Griphoist / Tirfor T516D Manual Wire Rope Hoist – 3.5 Ton Capacity, 80 ft (24 m) Assembly

Product Description

The Tractel Griphoist / Tirfor T516D, equipped with an 80 ft (24 m) wire rope assembly, is a heavy-duty manual hoist designed for the most demanding lifting, pulling, and tensioning applications. With a rated capacity of 7,700 lbs (3.5 tons), this model delivers the strength and reliability required for large-scale construction projects, industrial rigging, utility work, and rescue operations.

Unlike conventional hoists, the Griphoist system features a pass-through wire rope design, enabling virtually unlimited working length. The T516D can operate horizontally, vertically, or at an angle, making it highly versatile across a wide range of jobsite conditions. Its dual jaw gripping mechanism secures the rope automatically whenever the operator stops applying force, ensuring safety and precise control.

The included 80 ft wire rope assembly is factory-matched for durability and performance. A telescopic operating lever provides users with a mechanical advantage that allows one person to manage heavy loads efficiently. Overload shear pins offer an additional layer of safety, protecting both the operator and equipment during high-stress operations.

Compact and built for long service life, the T516D Griphoist is a trusted solution where reliable manual lifting and pulling power is essential. From structural steel erection and cable tensioning to equipment positioning and emergency recovery, the T516D delivers proven performance in the most challenging conditions.
