Ramsey Winch Tools and Equipment
About Ramsey Winch
Few names carry as much weight in the winch industry as Ramsey Winch. Founded in 1944 when brothers Claude and Rayburn Ramsey established Ramsey Brothers Tool & Die in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the company has spent more than eight decades engineering winching solutions trusted across some of the most demanding industries on Earth. What started as a small manufacturing operation grew into one of the most recognized winch brands in the world, with Claude Ramsey eventually becoming sole owner and formally incorporating the Ramsey Winch Company in 1959.
Today, Ramsey Winch operates as part of Ramsey Industries — a Tulsa-based parent company that also oversees Auto Crane and Eskridge — and continues to manufacture its products proudly in the USA. The brand is a leading producer of hydraulic and electric winches, spanning both worm gear and planetary gear designs, as well as planetary hoists built for professional-grade performance.
A Legacy of Towing & Recovery Innovation
Ramsey Winch has long been credited with helping transform the towing and recovery industry by pioneering the hydraulic winch. Their planetary hydraulic winches — like the HD-P series — are engineered for high-capacity, high-cycle applications where failure simply isn't an option. In one famous example, a Ramsey hydraulic planetary winch was selected for a Guinness World Record attempt in vehicle recovery, successfully winching in and out across more than four miles of cable over a 24-hour period without incident.
Beyond towing and recovery, Ramsey Winch products are deployed across a remarkable breadth of industries: utility, construction, oil and gas, forestry, mining, agriculture, government, defense, and more. Whether the job demands a compact ATV electric winch for off-road self-recovery or a heavy-duty industrial hydraulic unit rated for tens of thousands of pounds, Ramsey has a product engineered to the task.
Winch Accessories Built to Match
A winch is only as reliable as the electrical system that powers it. That's why Ramsey Winch complements its winch lineup with purpose-built winch wiring harnesses designed specifically for their models — from the Patriot and QM series to the REP 9000 and beyond. These wiring kits ensure proper current delivery, clean installation, and long-term electrical integrity, so operators can count on their winch to perform every time the switch is flipped.
