ENSURING FLEET SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY WITH HYTORC'S BOLTING SOLUTIONS

Maintaining a commercial vehicle fleet is a complex and critical task that directly impacts safety, efficiency, and profitability. Proper fleet maintenance practices and procedures are vital to prevent costly downtime and dangerous accidents. Among the most crucial aspects of fleet maintenance is ensuring the integrity and reliability of wheel installations. HYTORC, a leader in industrial bolting systems, offers innovative solutions that significantly enhance fleet maintenance practices, helping businesses avoid common pitfalls and maintain operational excellence. 

THE DANGERS OF NEGLECTING WHEEL MAINTENANCE 

Wheel failures can lead to catastrophic accidents, resulting in severe injuries, fatalities, and substantial financial losses. Incorrect wheel nut installation and insufficient maintenance are primary contributors to wheel failures. These failures can stem from several pitfalls, such as improper torque application, using worn or incorrect tools, and neglecting periodic checks. 

HYTORC’S ADVANCED SOLUTIONS FOR RELIABLE FLEET MAINTENANCE 

To address these challenges, HYTORC provides innovative tooling and technologies designed to streamline and enhance wheel installation and maintenance processes. Among these solutions, the 18v battery operated LION GUN torque wrench, CONNECT APP, and GRIP-TIGHT™ NUT stand out for their effectiveness and user-friendliness. 

LION GUN: HAVS FREE PRECISION ELECTRIC TORQUE TOOL 

The HYTORC LION GUN is a revolutionary battery-powered none-impacting torque tool that combines calibrated accurate repeatable torque precision with portability. Here’s how it transforms fleet maintenance: 

1. Digital Precision: The LION GUN features digital torque settings, allowing for precise torque application up to 949 Nm. This ensures that each bolt is tightened to the exact specification within +/-5%, eliminating the risks of over-tightening or under-tightening commonly associated with using an impact gun and hand torque wrench. 

1. HAVS FREE All HYTORC Electric Torque tools have vibration exposure that is ten times less than impact bolting tools. These tools are certified with declared vibration less than the Exposure Action Value (EAV) of 2.5 m/s2. They have measured vibration values less than 1.5 m/s2. These tools can be used by an operator on a bolting job for an entire day while remaining in the "low risk" category and without concern of HAV injury. 

1. Data Recording: When combined with the HYTORC CONNECT APP bolting documentation software, the user can track every torque application, providing valuable insights and documentation for maintenance and compliance records. 

1. User-Friendly Design: Lightweight and ergonomically designed, the LION GUN is easy to handle, reducing operator fatigue and improving productivity. 

CONNECT APP: BOLTING DOCUMENTATION SOFTWARE 

The HYTORC CONNECT APP provides wireless data exchange between Bluetooth® enabled HYTORC Electric Torque Tools and Windows® PC or mobile devices. 

1. Tool Configuration: To reduce the possibility of errors, the HYTORC Connect App enables the user to easily preset bolting parameters to the tool, then type or scan QR codes with job parameters, and send them automatically to the tool. 

1. Job Data Management: For better quality control, the app maintains precise job data documentation by receiving detailed bolting results from the tool. The operator or supervisor can monitor job progress by viewing bolting results during and after the job. 

1. Project Guidance: An advanced General and Wheel Sequence feature guides the operator through complex bolting projects ensuring project integrity and consistent record keeping. 

GRIP TIGHT™ NUT: UNMATCHED SECURITY 

The HYTORC GRIP TIGHT™ NUT is engineered to enhance the security and reliability of wheel installations. Here’s what sets it apart: 

1. Consistent Clamping Force: The GRIP TIGHT™ NUT provides a secure and consistent clamping force, even under extreme conditions. This reliability helps prevent wheel detachment and reduces the need for frequent re-tightening. 

1. Compatibility: GRIP-TIGHT™ Nuts can be torqued and loosened with common impact guns and wrenches. 

1. Enhanced Safety: The patent pending washer profile includes a special geometry for rotationally coupling to the HYTORC reaction socket. This washer acts as a coaxial reaction point, thereby eliminating pinch points and removing undesirable side loads. These benefits make it feasible to upgrade to HYTORC electric torque tools whilst increasing the efficiency, quality, and safety of wheel nut installations.
