ABOUT HI-FORCE, PRODUCTS & MARKETS

Hi-Force Hydraulic tools - 14026 A

Since its launch in the early 1980’s, Hi-Force has continued to expand at a tremendous pace. From its UK Headquarters in Daventry, England the Company initially established itself as the leading manufacturer and supplier of hydraulic tools in the UK market. Then from 1991 onwards a major global expansion took place and today Hi-Force operates from strategically placed Regional Offices and Distribution Centres located in Europe, Middle East, South East Asia, Australia and South Africa. Continual expansion of our Regional Office network is central to our future plans. At the heart of the ongoing Hi-Force success story is our technologically advanced research and development, design, manufacturing, assembly and marketing capabilities. Product designs incorporate the latest Solid- Works computer technology, whilst the use of “state of the art” CNC production machinery ensures that accurate, zero defect components, conforming to stringent quality requirements, are produced first time, every time. Initially the Hi-Force product range was focused on the manufacture and distribution of hydraulic lifting equipment, like cylinders, pumps, jacks and presses. However to satisfy the ever increasing demands, of our customers, for a wider range of high quality tools, the product range quickly expanded to include mechanical and hydraulic puller kits, nut splitters, cutters, crimping tools, hole punchers, flange and jaw spreaders, moving skates and hydrotest pumps. In the early 1990’s Hi-Force added an equally important and highly dynamic range of new products, to our tool portfolio, specifically designed for “bolting up” of mechanical components like pipeline flanges, structural steelwork, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, valves, machinery anchor bolts and many other items. The Hi-Force “Bolting Products” range includes manual and hydraulic torque wrenches, manual and pneumatic torque multipliers, stud bolt tensioners, industrial impact wrenches, plus of course accessory items like pumps, hose sets, sockets, reducer bushes etc... In early 2006 Hi-Force launched its BoltRight software programme, designed to assist users to correctly and accurately tighten bolted fasteners to the desired tension to ensure a leak free joint first time, every time. Further details can be found on page 100 of this catalogue. The growth of the Hi-Force Bolting Products Range has been nothing short of remarkable and along with our original core product range has quickly elevated Hi-Force to a “one stop source” for hydraulic tools worldwide.Every year Hi-Force commits a considerable amount of money and resources to our ongoing research and development programme, which is targeted at improving technical performance of our products even further. This commitment has established the basis for Hi-Force to meet, or exceed, the most exacting quality standards in the hydraulic tools industry, both now and in the future.
