The oil production industry puts men into some of the most demanding environments on the planet, and requires a huge investment in the best possible quality of equipment to provide maximum safety and security at all stages.  The first choice piece of equipment when it comes to lifting people from one level of an oil rig to another is the Ingersoll Rand Manrider winch.  This powerful and reliable piece of equipment has seen service in some of the most difficult situations possible, where reliability is everything, and is designed to perform on demand without any compromise on quality or safety.  It is type approved by some of the most respected insurance groups in the world, and has become the de facto standard when it comes to the lifting of personnel and other loads in difficult environments and for marine applications.
The Manrider winch from Ingersoll Rand was born out of the need to produce a completely reliable and yet very powerful winching system that could be used in difficult environments such as oil rigs. 
In such environments, where there is constant spray from the ocean, and where there is always the potential for releases of flammable gas, a conventional electric winch is soon overcome by the moisture, and becomes unreliable.  IN such situations, you need an air powered winch, because otherwise you would fall victim to deterioration of the system. 
Every aspect of the design of the Ingersoll Rand Manrider winch range has been carefully considered in order to make it as safe as possible and to ensure that it is able to perform consistently on demand.  Refinements to the whole design and construction pro
