Stay On Track By Avoiding Critical Bolting Failures
Since its founding in
1968, HYTORC has been
at the forefront of
innovation in industrial
bolting systems, providing
cutting-edge solutions for
critical industries
worldwide, including the
rail sector. With decades
of experience, HYTORC
has continually advanced
its technology to meet the
demanding requirements
of modern infrastructure. From engines, wheel bolts, to bogies and track; HYTORC has supported the industry with a solution.
HYTORC’s commitment to excellence is demonstrated by its extensive range of products, including those approved by Network Rail. Notably, the HYTORC Lithium Series II lightweight 36-volt battery- powered tool and the LION GUN 18V Electric Torque tools have received the Certificate of Acceptance PA05/06992 from Network Rail. This certification ensures that HYTORC's tools meet the rigorous standards for safety, reliability, and efficiency required for all UK rail maintenance applications.
Precision, Reliability and Job compliance with HyTORc Tools
The approved models have torque capacities ranging from 34 Nm to 6,779Nm.
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, with its transducerized system, ensures precise torque application, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of bolted joints.
When combined with the free of charge Connect App bolting documentation software, the user can wirelessly connect through Bluetooth® to configure the tool set up, reducing the possibility of errors and then maintain precise job data documentation by receiving and recording detailed bolting results from the tool.
The ability to collect and record torque and angle data in real time provided hard evidence to the QA department, confirming the accuracy of each operation.
ultra low vibration
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.
The robust non-impacting gearbox assembly and exceptional battery performance of HYTORC Power Torque Tools permit sustained repetitive bolting operations with zero risk of exposure to Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) injury. Proving HYTORC's tools are both reliable and efficient for large-scale projects.
“Track” Record 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.
