Ramsey Industries
Founded in 1944, brothers Claude and Rayburn Ramsey
began manufacturing aircraft parts, tools and dies
for Douglas Aircraft Company. More than 80 years later,
Ramsey Industries is one of the leading manufacturers
of service cranes, industrial and commercial winches,
and planetary gear drives, known best through our
three brands – Auto Crane®, Eskridge® and Ramsey Winch®.
Innovating since 1958
Auto Crane is the first name in service cranes. In 1958, we created the first mobile field service crane and we’ve been innovating ever since. Our service cranes, work truck bodies and accessories are designed for safety, reliability and productivity. With over 65 years of industry firsts, we keep pioneering big ideas to positively impact your bottom line.
From our design and operations facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we engineer, design and manufacture a comprehensive line of truck-mounted electric and hydraulic cranes, crane bodies, crane control technologies, and accessories. Our name and products are recognized and used around the world, serving industrial markets such as energy, mining, construction, forestry, and railroad operations. Auto Crane is American-owned and proudly made in the USA.
Since our founding, our singular focus has been to innovate and produce products that help customers work safer, smarter and faster. With more than 65 years of industry firsts, you can count on Auto Crane to do the heavy lifting for years to come.
Innovating since 1944
Ramsey Winch is a leading manufacturer of hydraulic and electric, worm gear and planetary gear winches, and planetary hoists. Using advanced manufacturing processes, premium materials, highly trained engineers, and production personnel, Ramsey Winch is today’s choice for quality, dependability, and endurance. It’s been this way since 1944 when brothers Claude and Rayburn Ramsey founded Ramsey Brothers Tool & Die in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to manufacture parts, tools, and dies for Douglas Aircraft Company.
We have served the tow and recovery, oil and gas, utility, and consumer markets for 80 years, and we continue to maintain our standard of purpose-driven design and quality engineering as we expand our product offering to meet the needs of the forestry, land development, fire and rescue, waste and refuse, and heavy hauling and equipment transport industries.
At Ramsey, we know you demand – and deserve – a winch that delivers the power, speed, and reliability you need every day, for every challenge. Trust Ramsey Winch for planetary and worm gear winches built to last a lifetime.
Innovating since 1972
Eskridge provides power transmission solutions utilizing our gear drive and brake products for industrial and mobile equipment all over the world. We understand the necessity of keeping businesses running with a minimum of inventory, and we have maintained an excellent track record for on-time delivery and expedited services. Founded in 1972, Eskridge joined the Ramsey Industries family of brands in early 2008. We have a history of innovative solutions, which has made Eskridge the market leader in our core market segments. Today we are building on this fundamental aspect of success by bringing our products to new markets. We design and manufacture our products in the heartland of America in Olathe, Kansas.
Caring is one of the core values we celebrate at Ramsey Industries – caring about each other, the markets we serve, the partners and customers we do business with and our community. One of the ways we express this value is by partnering with organizations like the Tulsa Area United Way to impact the members of our community.
