If you’re working in a team there will be floodlights in use in different locations within the tank and the last thing you want is to be dazzled by the glare of your own light or those of your colleagues.

Enerpac introduces the next evolution of the legendary Enerpac RC-Series hydraulic cylinders. The new RC-Trio is as versatile as ever. It features a new Trio bearing system for enhanced durability and a hybrid spring-return system for faster retraction and even greater productivity.
Enerpac announces a new 100-ton capacity hydraulic Sync Grip Puller for the safe and controlled removal of bearings, bushing, gears and pins from shafts during vehicle and machinery maintenance.
As with all pullers in the Sync Grip line, the new 100-Ton SGH100 model features simple, synchronous movement. The sync grip mechanism synchronises movement of all jaws for simultaneous engagement, enhancing the operator’s control over the tool and simplifying set-up. Hydraulic puller jaws fit around the part to be removed, while the spindle applies up to 100 tons of force to remove it. Hydraulically applied pulling force increases pulling capacity and reduces operator fatigue, enabling quicker and easier operation.

Compliance and accountability is essential in the work place and a simple T Board can provide a record and history with traceability from the time the incident occurred to the issue being signed off. All through the process the status is shown providing transparency which in turn encourages staff engagement.
