Extreme force tools global leader, Enerpac focuses on safe, compact fastening technology in Australasia
Increased worker safety is a major feature of new
families of bolting, pumping and safety technologies being introduced to
Australasia by Enerpac, an international leader in extreme force tools.
“Enerpac has
extended its respected brand into new pumping, bolting, pipeline, pre-stressing
and post-tensioning technologies,” says Enerpac National Bolting Manager, Pat
Molloy.
Bolting and fastening technologies from Enerpac can handle
tough jobs encountered by mining, gas, petroleum and contracting industries.
“These are tools designed to get the job done faster,
more precisely, with greater portability, less energy usage and optimum
reliability. They consign to the dark ages the slow, clumsy and hazardous
manual fastening methods that were common up until a few years ago.” The new
wave of technology includes:
- Versatile square and hexagonal drive torque wrenches like W and S
rigid steel types, with great power to weight ratios.
- Precise and time-saving hydraulic nut families, particularly useful
in applications involving critical
tolerances, multiple bolting tasks and high levels of repeatability.
- Powerful bolt tensioners and
highly portable torque multipliers to provide 1015 - 10,845 Nm of force for
tightening and loosening of nuts, bolts and corroded fasteners requiring
high torque.
- New-generation Z-class
electric pump and air pump that have fewer moving parts.
“They are brilliant for high-repetition tasks and
have already halved the time taken for some maintenance jobs, demonstrating
their effectiveness on machinery and infrastructure ranging from trucks and
bulldozers to pipelines, turbines and milling trains,” he said.
The new Enerpac torque wrenches are designed for
maximum durability, reliability and safety, with rigid steel design and great
power to weight ratios.
Enerpac’s large range of time and cost-saving precision
tools include families of aluminium cylinders weighing half their steel
equivalents.
Innovations
in the Enerpac E325a Industrial Catalogue range from its highly portable
families of professional bolting equipment to computerised synchronous lifting
systems. These lifting systems can be operated by one person from up to a
kilometre away to lift giant weights (including bridges, turbines, draglines
and drilling platforms).
