SAFER BOLTING
AT HEIGHT
ENHANCED BY ENERPAC DSX-SERIES
Carrying out bolting operations at height runs the risks of slip and fall accidents and the danger to
Falls from height or
being hit with moving
or falling objects are
among the major
causes of death
among the thousands of serious
injuries to workers on construction
and infrastructure projects each
year, says WorkSafe Australia.
To help enhance safety and
ergonomics on such projects,
Enerpac is introducing to Australia,
New Zealand and PNG a lightweight
solution with industry-first patented
safety features. The Enerpac
DSX-Series aluminium square drive
torque wrenches round out the
Enerpac portfolio of controlled
fastening technologies with a safe,
easy-to-use tool designed for
medium duty use when working at
height.
The series of five powerful compact
torque wrenches – each weighing
from 2.2kg, to 32.5kg – are suitable
for industries such as construction,
infrastructure, mining and
resources, onshore and offshore oil
production, energy utility installation
and distribution tasks and wherever
ergonomic, portable and safe use
where weight and power are critical
factors, says Enerpac product and
channel leader, Andrew Marsh.
“To help to reduce dropped-object
incidents when working at height,
the five models in the series
feature a built-in connection point
to safely tether the tool to a work
belt or bag. A standard ergonomic
safety handle also helps to prevent
injuries or near misses from loss
of tool. When it comes to operator
protection, a fully enclosed drive
prevents operator contact with
moving parts inside the tool,” says
Mr Marsh.
Made with a high-strength
aluminium body, the Enerpac
DSX-Series aluminium torque
wrenches are lightweight and easy
to use – important factors when
working at height. Another feature
that makes the tool simple to use
is a multi-direction 360 x 180°
high flow aluminium swivel that
helps prevent twisted and tangled
hydraulic hoses. To help make
operators more efficient on-site,
the wrenches feature a fine-tooth
ratchet that prevents the tool from
locking on, a 35-degree rotation
angle that assists with repetitive
bolt tightening tasks, and a retained
push-button for quick release.

PRACTICAL ENERPAC
‘GOAL ZERO’ TRAINING
SESSIONS FOCUS ON
SAFETY OF POWERFUL
HYDRAULIC TOOLS
Global hydraulics leader Enerpac
is introducing to Australia, New
Zealand and PNG a new series of
‘Goal Zero’ online hydraulic safety
training sessions, designed to
optimise uptime and safety for
industries that use powerful (10,000
psi) hydraulic tools to make lifting,
shifting, positioning and other tasks
easier and more efficient.
Enerpac has moved its training
sessions online so that responsible
companies in construction,
infrastructure, manufacturing,
materials handling, mining, oil
and gas, power generation,
water, wastewater and other
industries can still keep their safety
knowledge up to date during
COVID-19.
“Many industrial companies are
performing essential tasks and
continuing to work, and others
are adapting rapidly to a changing
environment. Whichever the
case, we’d like to make our safety
those working beneath of dropped objects.
