Hey, Haul Away: New Winch From Ingersoll Rand


Doing the heavy lifting is a job that should be left to the pros. The heavier the lifting, the more important it is to have the right pro on your team. IBT recommends IR when you need an air winch that can really perform.

Now, IR (Ingersoll Rand) have outdone themselves with the introduction of their latest series of winch and hoist solutions: Force 5i.

IBT Fluid Power offers a full range of IR Force 5i products, ranging from 4,400 pound (2,000 kg) pulling power at the low end (model FA2i-24MX1) to a top rating of 11 tons (10,000 kg) with model FA10-40XK1. Prices start under $ 20,000 USD and top out slightly over $ 50,000.00.

As you'd expect from Ingersoll-Rand and IBT, IR's Force 5i Infinity winches set high standards for quality, durability, and performance. With new design improvements, Force 5i Infinity winches are even harder working and more reliable than ever before.

The entire range of products have benefited from design improvements like:
  • Low pressure brake reduces pressure requirements by nearly 50 percent while minimizing the risk of overheating.

  • Modular guarding is corrosion-resistant, easy to configure, and ensures all moving parts are fully enclosed for enhanced safety.

  • Redesigned limit switch offers increased protection while simplifying inspection and adjustments.

  • Bonded drum brake surface with stainless steel design provides 30 percent more useable brake lining and extends service life.

  • Improved remote pendant control provides spotting precision with infinitely variable speeds and rivals lever throttle control.

  • Simplified lubrication-free press roller is corrosion-resistant and field-retrofittable.

  • Optional filter, regulator, and lubricators (FRLs) can be conveniently mounted and provide clean, lubricated air to the motor.

The entire line is built to be easily configured into a customized and modified unit that will be perfect for a specific application.

Specifiable features include: drum lengths (from 8" to 55'' with 24"standard), brakes (drum and disk, manual and/or automatic), controls and other options.

There are many options within the one clear choice of IR Force 5i air winches.
