Lifting expectations β€” literally.

For decades, Winkle has engineered material handling solutions for the work most equipment can't survive. Scrap yards. Steel mills. Rail yards. Slab handling lines.

When the load is heavy and the conditions are harsh, our magnets and lifting systems are built to keep moving.

"I think I need one of these too!"

That was Mr. DiGG at our ConExpo booth, looking at the Winkle Hyd Mag.

Here's the thing about most hydraulic magnets β€” you need a separate gen set on the back of the excavator to power them. Extra hardware. Extra hassle when you want to move the magnet to a different machine.

The Hyd Mag puts the generator right inside the unit. Hook up the hoses, you're working. Need it on another excavator tomorrow? Pop it off, move it over, hook it back up.

And with the teeth on the underside, the same tool sorts and digs through the pile before you engage the magnet. One attachment doing the work of two.

Cutler Hammer. Square D. GE. Westinghouse. P&H. Clark.

We rebuild them all β€” and we reline the shoes ourselves.

In-house brake shoe relining with RF38 (or custom on request) means we control fitment, torque, and quality from start to finish. Every reman brake is restored to OEM-quality standards, built to AISE and NEMA specs, torque-tested before shipment, and backed by a one-year warranty.

Torque ratings from 10 to 9,000 lb-ft. Standard, obsolete, or custom β€” if it's a magnetic shoe brake on a crane, hoist, or rotating asset, we've probably already rebuilt one.

Day two at AISTech 2026 β€” and the conversations are just getting started.

Our team is back at booth 1921 today and tomorrow. If lifting and handling, grapples, or where steel mill operations are heading are on your mind, come find the crew.

We'd rather talk it through in person.

AISTech 2026 is underway in Pittsburgh β€” and we're here for the conversations.

Our team is on the floor, ready to talk shop: where steel mill operations are heading, what's changing in lifting and handling, and the realities our customers are navigating day to day.

Stop by to discuss Winkle's lifting and handling solutions for steel mills, Bateman Manufacturing's heavy-duty grapples, or simply where the industry is going next. The best ideas usually come out of these conversations.

πŸ’‘ Employee Spotlight: Kevin Tripp πŸ’‘

At Winkle, our strength comes from the people behind the work and we’re proud to introduce Kevin Tripp, our Engineering Manager.

Kevin joined Winkle in late 2025, bringing with him over 30 years of experience across the electric motor, transformer, breaker, and magnet industries. His career path is anything but typicalβ€”starting as a machinist, advancing into mechanical engineering, and eventually leading operations as a general manager. Along the way, he’s built deep expertise in design, process engineering, and fabrication, while also sharing his knowledge as an instructor in machining and CAD technologies.

What drives Kevin today? Tackling challenges head-on and working alongside the talented teams across engineering, the office, and the shop floor. He’s passionate about solving problems and making a positive impactβ€”always aiming to make the work a little easier and more enjoyable for those around him.

Known for his easygoing personality and natural ability to connect with others, Kevin brings both technical expertise and a strong team spirit to Winkle.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find him spending time with his grandchildren, enjoying live music, or cruising in his 1977 Corvette.

We’re glad to have you on board!

Meet the Winkle 25-Ton Parallelogram Sheet Lifter β€” built different, built to last.

While the competition stacks on gear boxes, we simplified it down to ONE β€” meaning less downtime, less maintenance headaches, and more uptime on the floor.

Here's what sets it apart:
βœ… Single gearbox design β€” simpler than anything else on the market
βœ… Grease fittings on every joint β€” bearings stay maintained with zero guesswork
βœ… Replaceable bushings β€” swap them out fast, keep moving
βœ… Proven in steel mills and heavy freight operations worldwide
βœ… Unique parallelogram design β€” you'll know a Winkle when you see one

We're proud to be returning to AISTech 2026, an event we've been part of for many years and one that continues to bring together leaders shaping the future of steel production.

At this year's show, Winkle will highlight its lifting and handling solutions for steel mills β€” and it's a great opportunity to discover Bateman Manufacturing's full range of heavy-duty grapples, built for environments where reliability is non-negotiable.

If your priorities include uptime, durability, and long-term performance, we look forward to connecting and discussing how our solutions support efficient, modern operations.
