Safety
Precise torque is also critical to ensure that vibration from passing trains does not cause tracks to separate. Other factors such as temperature and weather fluctuation can also affect how tight bolts stay over time. HYTORC tools can help to reduce this risk, lowering the possibility of derailment. HYTORC tools also offer reaction arm free bolting with the patented HYTORC Washer, eliminating pinch points.
Where can HyTORc’s solutions be used?
Supported rail applications included, but not limited to, are:
• Locomotive Engines
• Flywheels
• Bogies
• Track pads
• Cylinder Cover
• Connection Rod
• Drive Gear
• Wheel Bolts
• Cylinder Bolts
• Brake Stations (Tracks) • Field Pole Bolts
• Flex Plate Bolts
Why HyTORc?
HYTORC provides unparalleled product quality and customer support making sure that your project can be completed safely, on schedule, and to specification.

Precise Torque
When it comes to the track, secure and lasting connection between lag bolts and railroad ties are key to ensuring long-term safety. Not only are HYTORC tools more accurate than impact wrenches, but tools such as the Lithium Series II Electric Torque Tool and the VECTOR Hydraulic pump allow for the user to measure and record the amount of torque applied.
ultra low vibration Torque Guns
HYTORC Power Torque Tools with torque multipliers lead the industry in vibration safety for heavy bolting applications. Operators still using impact wrenches on bolting projects worry that those tools place the workforce at high risk of Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) injury.
High vibration tools such as impact wrenches, if used frequently, quickly become a moderate or high-risk of HAVS injury. Most all impact wrenches exceed the industry standard Exposure Action Value (EAV) limit of 2.5 m/s2, whilst also exceeding the Exposure Limit Value (ELV) of 5 m/s2, meaning a high risk of developing HAVS.
