Force 5® “Guideline and Podline” Air Winches
FA7TGL 3400 lb (1545 kg) FA7TPL 10200 lb (4636 kg)

As offshore oil drilling heads into deeper waters, Ingersoll-Rand Guideline and Podline winches are prepared to follow. These specially configured versions of the “Popeye Junior” tall flange air winch feature:

  • Top layer ratings ensure “lift at any layer” capability
  • 42 inch (1067 mm) drum flange height and length for maximum cable capacity. Other sizes available.
  • Golf ball tough, thermoplastic “Surlyn” coating and blue bolts for “no comparison” corrosion protection. U.S. Navy tested and proven.
  • With T-handle, bullet nose, and grease points, the stainless steel locking dog is easy to operate, trouble free, and maintenance friendly.
  • Winch mounted throttle for precise load control; remote control optional.
  • Internal automatic disc brake is protected from the elements.
Specific to the FA7TGL Guideline winch:

  • A lower gear ratio and switching valve arrangement with pressure regulator preset for unmanned lowering of sub-sea equipment.
  • Simply flipping a lever switches the winch from utility to guide line mode. In this mode, the winch can be overhauled at speeds up to 90 fpm (28 m/min).
  • In guide line mode, a pressure regulator can be set to adjust the tension. A handy chart on the winch recommends pressure settings for various water depths.
