New for this year’s show, Thern will be showcasing their personnel rated 

winches. Dual-rated and designed with  personnel lifting in mind, Thern’s Big 

Red Rider Personnel/Utility winch series adds a desired dimension to an air 

tugger line already growing in popularity within the oil and gas and offshore 

drilling markets.

Thern is also pleased to announce ABS Type approval for its Personnel/Utility 

air winches, certifying that Thern’s line is manufactured to the highest 

industry standards.  TA2.5 and 5 Utility models have also received ABS Type 

approval for ship mounting applications. Third party ABS certification is 

available per request on all units.

“Thern continues to experience a high level of interest in our air winch 

line”, says Bill Sievers, Marketing Development Manager with Thern. 

“Operators in the field are interested in the rugged construction and smooth 

operation of the motors and valves.”

Increasingly popular in the construction, marine, oil and gas and mining 

markets, Thern air winches are designed to provide lifting and pulling power 

on job sites where electrical hookup is either hazardous or unavailable.
