Already established for 50 years in Australia as a leader in hydraulic lifting, Enerpac has dramatically increased its business over recent years as it extends its brand into new pumping, bolting, pipeline, pre-stressing and post-tensioning technologies.
The man guiding the expansion – the Business Unit Manager of the Australasian operations of Enerpac, Anders Mangen – says technologies such as advanced torque wrenches and high reliability ZU4 pump families have helped produce an extraordinary rise in sales of Enerpac’s 700 bar technology, which packs more force into lighter and smaller tools that are easier and safer to use.
“The timing of our range expansion has been perfect, because huge resources, infrastructure, energy and pipeline projects are looking for tools they can trust for safety, reliability and efficiency in rugged situations onshore and offshore. Enerpac lifting equipment has demonstrated exactly these qualities as a market leader for decades. Now we are extending our quality engineering brand into further areas of our industrial markets where we offer global expertise complemented by local support through our national network,” said Mr Mangen.
Enerpac’s global expertise in professional bolting technologies, detailed in the latest E325a catalogue, includes:
* Versatile W low profile hexagonal wrenches and versatile S series of double-acting square drive wrenches designed for maximum durability, reliability and safety, with rigid steel design and outstanding power to weight ratios up to
34,000 Nm (S series).
* A range of fine quality impact sockets to complement the torque wrenches, designed to replace laborious, inaccurate and often hazardous bolting and unbolting methods, such as flogging wrenches.
* Time-saving hydraulic nuts and portable nut splitters for applications where speed of fabrication or maintenance is vital, and high standards of precision and repeatability are required.
* Accurate and highly portable manual torque multipliers to provide from 1,015-10,845 Nm of force for tightening and loosening of nuts, bolts and stubborn or corroded fasteners requiring high torque.
* Efficient flange alignment and flange splitting tools purpose-built to take manual labour out of the job while safeguarding the integrity of pipelines and flanged machinery – as well as the safety of the person working on them.
* Energy-saving ZU4 portable hydraulic pumps with fewer moving parts and less friction to give more power and reliability for and heavyweight hydraulic tasks. These
1.25 kW pumps complement Z class ZE3-6 5.6 kW stationary pumps in a comprehensive Enerpac range extending fall the way from simple hand pumps to sophisticated
air, electric, turbo and gasoline types.
* Rugged workhorse pumps custom-engineered to particular applications, such as the ZU4908JE double-acting pump which can be coupled with compact and powerful Enerpac post-tensioning tools for mono strand construction applications common on building, mining and infrastructure development sites.
Enerpac stocks Australasia’s biggest selection of 700 bar cylinders, in hundreds of models with capacities from 5 – 1,000 tonnes for compact high-pressure power in lifting, pushing, pulling, bending and holding applications.
Enerpac’s largest range ever of time and cost-saving precision tools also includes new families of aluminium cylinders weighing half what their steel equivalents do, new “˜Extreme Products’ designed for maximum corrosion and temperature resistance and the new generation ZE and ZU electric pumps with fewer moving parts that save power while extending reliability and serviceability even on remote sites with variable electricity supplies.
Innovations in the Enerpac E325a industrial catalogue range from its highly portable families of professional bolting equipment through to computerised synchronous lifting systems that one person can operate from up to a kilometre away to lift giant weights (including bridges, turbines, draglines and drilling platforms).
