The Tower
In the assembly of these towers, all types of torque and tensioning tools are needed to perform the job properly. If your need is base bolt tensioning, hydraulic torquing, Norwolf's low-profile torque multipliers, or one of the many options from RAD, we have the right solution.
The E-RAD, B-RAD, offset gearbox, and Smart Sockets can be used to install and maintain tower bolts, blade bolts, shrink discs, gearboxes, generators, hub bolts, and yaw bolts. With RAD, no job is out of reach.
Unique Geometry, Unique Tools
Wind tooling has to fit places no standard torque wrench was designed to reach. In some wind turbine towers, technicians have to flange sections from the inside. Other turbines have unique curvatures that do not allow for the use of straight tools.
RAD's offset gearboxes and 90-degree tools allow E-RAD models to fit inside the diameter and curvature of a turbine's shell. When the platform is 80 metres above the ground and the wind is picking up, the difference between a tool that fits and one that does not is the difference between a finished job and a postponed one.
