GENERAL INFORMATION
Ingersoll-Rand offers, in its air winch product line, a limited
number of models referred to as Man-Riders which are designed
and manufactured to standards and specifications established by
various regulatory bodies for the purpose of lifting people.
Man-Rider winches are type approved and/or certified to meet
the requirements of the Offshore Oil Industry by one or more of
the following regulatory bodies:
American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Lloyd’s Register of
Shipping (LRS) or Det Norske Veritas (DNV) to comply with
the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the Norwegian
Maritime Directorate (NMD) or the Norwegian Petroleum
Directorate (NPD).
In furnishing customers Man-Rider
®
winches, Ingersoll-Rand
does not warrant the suitability of these winches for any
particular use. It is the owner and user’s responsibility to
determine the suitability of a Man-Rider
®
winch for a particular
application. Further, it is the owner and user’s responsibility to
check and satisfy all local, state, federal and country
requirements pertaining to the lifting and lowering of persons.
WARNING
• Many agencies require additional redundant safety devices
on winches that Ingersoll-Rand does not furnish. Additional
devices are often required to bring the system up to elevator
code standards.
