(MANAHAWKIN, NJ – APRIL 10, 2008) – JonRie InterTech introduced their new Series 250 Escort Winch this week to be put into service on the New ASD Rosemary and Andrew McAllister 6800HP tugs.

The winch boats a line pull of 180,000-lbs and a line speed of 150FPM with the capacity to spool 600′ of 8″Cir. Samson Quantum-8 soft line. The winch also features a full Render/Full Recover system and a 600,000-lb static brake.
