Did you know that Allison transmissions are an excellent choice for marine winching in the offshore oilfield industry? You can choose from the CRT3531 or CRT3331 transmissions for heavy-duty winching. These transmissions are fully equipped with a three or four-element multiphase torque converter, planetary gearing, and a manual hydraulic control valve to reach three speeds in forward and reverse. 

The CRT3000 and CRT5000 automatic transmissions from Copeland International can be used in hydraulic planetary hoists, upright worm gear winches, planetary recovery winches, and low mount worm gear winches.

First Things First: Find the Right Winch

With so many options for your winch, it can be difficult to select the best winch for your application. Consider the job you’ll be performing and how much you want to spend. You also want to choose high-quality materials to ensure the longevity of your winch. 

Durability & Performance

You want to use equipment that is durable in a demanding, unpredictable work environment. Allison Transmissions provide top performance and are built to last through the decades. If you have proper care and maintenance, you can have a transmission for your lifetime and beyond. 

Pro Tip: Even if you have a legacy model that needs parts, you can have it rebuilt and shipped back to you. 

Keeping Your Offshore Crew Safe

In a demanding field, oilfield safety is essential. While safety training and protective gear are important, secure, smooth operating equipment is too. To keep the environment and your workers safe, you must identify threats, test employees, and keep oilfield machines maintained.
