Manhole Top Roller (Long / Short)
Protect your rope, protect your hose, and protect the manhole rim. The Hydraulic Winch Co Top Roller seats on the top edge of a manhole and provides a smooth, centered roller path so pulling lines and air hoses feed cleanly into the structure—without rubbing, cutting, or scuffing along the concrete edge.

When you’re pulling a line, lowering equipment, or running air/hydraulic hoses into a manhole, the rim becomes a high-friction pinch point. The Top Roller creates a controlled lead-in point so your rope or hose tracks on the roller instead of the rim, reducing wear and improving control.

Long Top Roller (Red) – Larger frame
Ideal when you need a taller guide for steeper lead angles, deeper structures, or when you want more separation above the rim.
Short Top Roller (Green) – Compact frame
Great for tighter spaces, shallower structures, easier handling, and quick setup.
Key benefits
- Reduces rope abrasion and premature line failure
- Helps prevent hose scuffing, slicing, and kinking at the rim
- Keeps lines centered and controlled for smoother pulls
- Adds a clean, repeatable “entry point” for better workflow at the manhole
Built for jobsite use
- Heavy-duty welded frame construction
- Smooth machined roller for consistent line travel
- Durable coated finish for corrosion resistance and everyday handling
Use cases: guiding winch lines, pulling ropes, air lines, and hoses for trenchless work, rehabilitation, and general manhole operations.
