Hydraulic bolt tensioner even more efficient, safer and longer lasting
Technofast Industries, one of Australia’s leading hydraulic fastening companies, has updated its very popular EziJac B3S series of hydraulic bolt tensioners to make them even more efficient, longer lasting, user friendly and safer.

As well as the new seal design, the return force of the return springs of the bolt tensioner has been increased to further improve efficiency and speed of operation. Offering very accurate bolt tensioning, the B3S Series EziJacs also feature a new puller design making them far easier to be operated by workers wearing gloves. “The bolt tensioners were always easy to handle, but they are now even more so, making them very user friendly. “Plus we have updated the bolt tensioners to include a new retainer for the […]
