TOOLS FOR BRIDGE MAINTENANCE ANCHOR BOLT, ROD and CABLE TENSIONING and TESTING Maintaining and repairing concrete and steel bridges requires powerful tools. Enerpac hydraulic tools are used in a variety of tasks to repair a bridge to confirm and maintain the integrity of TORQUING and TIGHTENING Testing and tensioning of bolts, rods and cables requires unique tools. Enerpac offers hollow cylinders that are designed to pull on these objects to create tension. these structures. Our broad portfolio of solutions will enable you to complete your task regardless of the bridge design. The RRH / RCH-Series Cylinders (up to 150 ton) are hollow cylinders capable of both pushing and pulling objects, and the RACH-Series Cylinders (up to 150 ton) offer this same capability in a lightweight design. This is just one of the Enerpac cylinder series that utilize aluminum and composite materials to maximize portability. Bolts are typically loosened and tightened when replacing steel chords and beams, and Enerpac offers multiple solutions for controlled tightening to the required specifications. LIFTING and JACKING Enerpac offers several solutions to lift bridge decks for many maintenance activities, such as bearing replacement or repositioning. The correct solution is dependent on the bridge design and location. The PTW-Series pneumatic torque wrenches (up to 6,000 ft-lbs) deliver fast and accurate torque, while the S-Series hydraulic torque wrenches (up to 25,000 ftlbs) provide the greatest torque and precision. Lastly, NC-Series hydraulic nut cutters can be used to safely remove any corroded nuts. SIMPLE & SOPHISTICATED CONTROLS The RSM/RCS-Series cylinders (up to 100 ton) have the lowest profile and can lift bridges shorter distances required for bearing replacement, while the CLP/CLL-Series cylinders (up to 1000 ton) provide either low or tall profiles with the additional benefit of a mechanical locking feature that, when engaged, will keep the bridge deck in place in the event of a loss in hydraulic pressure. BLS-Series cylinders (up to 200 ton) have the capability to cover the greatest distances with a longer stroke and a wide base for stage lifting. After the cylinder extends, blocks are placed beneath the base to support the bridge while the cylinder retracts for the next stage lift. PILE TESTING and DE-PROPPING Pile testing can require tremendous forces, but regardless of the force required Enerpac has a very broad offering of cylinders. The CLSG/CLRG-Series cylinders (up to 1000 ton) are our highest capacity tools and are commonly used to apply great force to a single pile. These cylinders are also common in de-propping concrete and steel bridges to and from temporary supports. Many of these applications require the synchronization of multiple hydraulic cylinders. Enerpac provides several solutions to control and synchronize these tools. These solutions range from the simple AM41 manifold and GA45GC gauge assembly to the precise, integrated flow controls in the SFP-Series split flow pump or EVO-Series pump.
