RENTALS, SERVICE & CALIBRATION

The part that happens after the sale.

A torque tool is a consumable with a long life. It gets dropped, it gets wet, it drifts, and eventually QA asks for a certificate. We rent, repair and calibrate — including tools we didn't sell you.

RENTALS

A fleet in Gonzales, not a fleet in a catalog.

Rentals cover the three situations that actually come up: a job too big for the tools you own, a job too rare to justify buying, and a tool of yours that's in the shop.

What's in the fleet

  • Hydraulic torque wrenches — square drive
  • Low-clearance hex cassette tools
  • Air and electric hydraulic pumps
  • Hose, couplers and reaction accessories
  • Bolt tensioning equipment

How it works

  • Tell us the joint, not the model number
  • We size the tool and quote the term
  • Local delivery or pickup in Gonzales
  • Rental credit toward purchase on qualifying units

When it's urgent

  • Same-day and next-day where stock allows
  • 24/7 emergency dispatch
  • We have driven tools to a yard ourselves on a holiday — more than once

Bigger than a torque tool? Enerpac heavy lifting equipment — gantries, strand jacks, jack-up systems, skidding and machine skates — is available for rent or purchase. See Heavy Lifting.

SERVICE & REPAIR

Rebuild it, don't replace it.

What we service

Hydraulic torque wrenches, pumps, hose assemblies and tensioning equipment. We work on TorcUP as the factory representative, and on other manufacturers' tools as a repair shop.

Typical work

  • Seal kits and full rebuilds
  • Ratchet and drive replacement
  • Pump motor and valve troubleshooting
  • Hose, coupler and gauge replacement
  • Failure diagnosis — including why it keeps failing

Worth saying plainly: a lot of repeat pump failures aren't the pump. They're wet, dirty, unlubricated shop air. If we see that pattern, we'll tell you to fix the air supply instead of selling you another pump.

CALIBRATION

A number QA will accept.

Calibration turns a torque setting into a documented value. We calibrate hydraulic torque tools and provide certification for your turnover and QA packages, and we can help set the interval that fits your service conditions rather than a generic annual default.

Hydraulic torque tools

Tool-and-pump calibration as a system, because the pump gauge is half of what the crew is reading.

Load verification

Skidmore-Wilhelm bolt tension calibrators to prove the torque-to-load relationship for your fastener, coating and lubricant — not a handbook's.

Documentation

Certificates that travel with the tool, so the audit question is answered before it's asked.

Rigging and crane inspection to OSHA and ASME standards, sling and crane repair, and on-site spooling and socketing are available through Mazzella — see Lifting & Rigging.

FIELD SUPPORT

Someone standing there for the first joint.

On-site setup & training

We come out, set the tool up on your actual joint, walk the crew through it, and stay until the first-article bolt-up is right.

Procedure support

Torque and tensioning sequence help informed by ASME PCC-1 practice, joint geometry review, and a straight answer on whether torque or tension is the correct method for the joint in front of you.
