You know Auto Crane. You know Ramsey Winch. You know Eskridge.
Meet the company behind all three.
We're Ramsey Industries. It started in 1944, when brothers Claude and Rayburn Ramsey began making aircraft parts, tools, and dies. A year later, they built their first winch. Auto Crane (since 1958) and Eskridge (since 1972) joined the family along the way, and today we're one company with teams in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Olathe, Kansas.
Three brands, each built for one job:
- Auto Crane for lift: service cranes for work trucks.
- Ramsey Winch for pull: industrial winches for towing and recovery, utility, forestry, and more.
- Eskridge for rotation: planetary gear drives working inside the equipment you rely on.
Together, we're the engineered intelligence behind every lift, pull, and rotation.
And we're not standing still. Ramsey Connect™ is bringing connected technology to our cranes, and one warranty program now covers all three brands, with up to 36 months of protection when you register.
The brands you know. The company behind them.
