Coates picks Enerpac for bolting
ENERPAC has made Australia’s largest-ever sale of professional bolting technology, with a multi-million dollar order from Coates Hire. The equipment – including torque wrenches, tensioners, nut splitters and pumps – will be used by Coates Hire Industrial Division to service rental markets ranging from building and construction, energy and infrastructure, manufacturing and mining, to oil and gas.
The sale into the hire and rental market complements a major sales drive by Enerpac ’s own service and distribution network, which will market the technology to customers who want to purchase their own equipment. The twin sales initiatives follow Enerpac’s introduction of new professional bolting technologies this year after its acquisition of Hedley Purvis and Hydratight Sweeny, subsequently merged into Hydratight operation of the Actuant organisation.
“This sale demonstrates Enerpac’s leadership in professional bolting technology including tools built to withstand the wear and tear of hire to the toughest industrial markets. Coates Hire’s confidence in us is an endorsement not only of our technology, but also of our ability to provide outstanding service in the field, based on 50 years experience down under as a leader in high-force tools,” says Anders Mangen, business unit manager of the Australasian operations of Enerpac. Bolting technology involved in the Coates Hire order includes:
Torque wrench, tensioner and nut splitter systems, including the S and W series of compact high pressure (700 bar) hexagonal and square drive steel hydraulic torque wrenches.
New generation pumos include PTA air driven two-stage pumps with automatic bypass for faster cycling; the new ZA4 high flow modular air/hydraulic pumps; and ZU4 204 TE-Q electric pump which is part of Enerpac’s compact and portable ZU Series.
