New technologies for old tasks
ENERPAC is now expanding its business in professional bolting technologies for construction, infrastructure and other industries. Enerpac ’s parent, Actuant, has expanded the bolting technology, expertise and solutions capabilities of its Australasian organization through the recent acquisitions of Hedley Purvis Group and Hydratight Sweeny. The combined Hydratight organization formed by the acquisitions works as a team with Enerpac, which focuses on the technologies required for bolting tasks in maintenance and fabrication. Following the acquisitions, Enerpac introduced the W and S series of compact, high pressure (700 bar) hexagonal and square drive torque wrenches to streamline many common, time-consuming and potentially hazardous maintenance and fabrication tasks.
This technology complements the capabilities of Hydratight, which designs and manufactures products for the bolting market, including torque wrenches, multipliers, tensioners and nut splitters. Enerpac’s range of 700 bar precision hydraulic cylinders and tools is now complemented by the new professional bolting technology. This will address the needs of major areas of industry, including mining and energy, infrastructure construction, manufacturing, pipelines, mobile machinery, tracked and heavy vehicles, cranage and fixed plant. The new Enerpac wrenches are designed for durability, reliability and safety, with rigid steel design and high power to weight ratios. The tools are designed to replace laborious, inaccurate and often hazardous bolting and unbolting methods, such as flogging wrenches. The combined Enerpac and Hydratight organizations now have national and global capability, with more than $125 million of bolting related product and service sales and 500 employees worldwide.
