Why should you use an Ingersoll Rand Man Rider® Winch instead of a standard winch to lift and lower people on an oil rig?

In one word, safety. Deaths and serious injuries caused by falls are common in the oil and gas industry. The numbers speak for themselves:
• 186 lost time or disabling falls to lower levels in the Alberta, Canada upstream oil and gas industry.
• 7% of US
• 9% of Middle East/African oil worker fatalities caused by falls from higher to lower levels.
• 41 serious injuries attributed to falls from height with 1 fatality in the North Sea.

Ingersoll Rand Man Rider winches provide safety features that reduce the risk of these types of incidents. From integrated limit switches that prevent raising or lowering a person past set limits, to dual braking systems, to a slack arm prevention system that automatically stops wire rope from being paid out in case of obstruction, Ingersoll Rand Man Rider winches combine all the features you need to comply with onshore and offshore regulations for personnel lifting. But even more importantly, Ingersoll Rand Man Rider winches help protect the one piece of critical equipment on your rig that can never be replaced – your people.
