Mining

All over the world RAD torque wrenches are known as the go-to tools for bolting jobs on dump trucks, bulldozers, shovels and other vehicles used in the mining industry. RAD planetary gear torque wrenches are vibration free and have the accuracy to prevent accidentally under – and over tightening. The fixed nose extensions are ideal for reaching recessed wheel nut studs and where tool clearance is a problem.

Wheel nut bolting

Accidents caused by incorrect tightened wheel nuts are considered a serious problem in the industry. The RAD wheel nut bolting series were designed with one job in mind: wheel nut bolting where torque control is a must. Accidents caused by incorrectly tightened wheel nuts are considered a serious problem in the industry. Especially impact wrenches are notorious for these problems, while at the same time they increase the risk of HAVS related injuries. The RAD fixed nose extension (-R) was developed exclusively for extreme duty maintenance of mining haul trucks from 50-400 ton capacities and front end loaders. The extended nose allows safe access of virtually all wheel configurations found on today’s heavy equipment. The RAD nose extension kit (-NX) was designed with flexibility in mind. Complete with 3 different reaction arms and a nose extension for hard-to-reach areas, the GX-NX Kit is a go anywhere tool capable of a variety of applications but especially suitable for off-road construction equipment. The RAD nose extension kit can also be used on RAD battery torque wrenches. These tools are perfectly suitable for torquing wheel bolts.

Flywheel

RAD torque wrenches are perfectly suitable for all kinds of bolting jobs, such as loosening and quickly and accurately fastening of flywheel bolts.

Tracks

Thanks to their robustness RAD torque wrenches are a popular solution for torquing jobs on tracks. Bolts can be easily loosened and accurately fastened without the vibration and noise of an impact wrench.
