Next-Generation Maintenance Solutions
Advancing rail safety and efficiency
The rail industry faces a unique set of challenges and the need for solutions that are not just effective but efficient and safe is paramount. Downtime, vibration, and worker fatigue from using outdated bolting methods can slow down rail projects and compromise infrastructure. The rail industry can no longer accept loud, inefficient, and unsafe bolting methods. There is a clear need for portable and reliable solutions. HYTORC meets this need with precision-engineered torque tools and fasteners, ensuring a safer and more reliable future for the rail industry.
Next-generation maintenance solutions
HYTORC torque tools are not just a response to the industry's challenges — they are a proactive step towards a safer, more reliable future. The Lithium Series II electric torque tool represents a leap forward in bolting technology, offering a vibration-free, battery-powered, handheld solution that drastically reduces noise and the risk of injuries.
Case Study: Custom Bolting Solutions Keep Light Rail Maintenance on Track
A regional light rail team faced two significant challenges. First, standard tools couldn't access bolts due to space constraints and the lack of a reaction point. We created a custom drive extension with a smaller diameter and implemented the HYTORC Washer system, enabling successful bolting without a standard reaction arm. The second challenge involved reaching bolts that were not directly accessible. HYTORC designed a custom offset link, allowing the team to torque from the side on a socket head cap screw assembly. The LST tool and innovative solutions ensured maintenance was completed efficiently, leaving the client highly satisfied with the outcome.
