Problem solving was high on the agenda for the annual gathering of engineers at the recent Enerpac Experience Days held at the company’s Deer Park facility in Texas. With the industry’s largest collection of hand tools, portable machining tools, as well as heavy lifting hydraulic systems, there isn’t much that Enerpac can’t solve.
With many visitors drawn for local oil and gas service companies, the tools and machining demonstrations were popular, especially milling and flange facing, and demonstrations of the battery-powered the BTW-Series battery powered torque wrenches and SC-Series and XC2 pumps. Power combined with portability is a prerequisite for many projects in difficult to access areas - Enerpac tools are designed to meet this need.
Enerpac Tool Center Rental and Service
Home to the Enerpac Tool Center and Service fleet for the Americas, Deer Park carries a vast tools inventory of hydraulic tools available for rental including general purpose jacking, bolting, tensioning and on-site machining tools. And, for more critical jobs, involving controlled bolting, on site machining and integrity assurance in bolted joints, Enerpac has experienced and accredited service technicians available to perform these operations at customer sites.
“The Experience Days are a great opportunity for us to engage with customers and demonstrate many of our tools in action”, says Tom Eggert, Commercial Support Manager, Enerpac. “It also allows us to show that we have a local tools inventory they can call on at any time, demonstrating our ability to respond rapidly to customer demands.”
State-of-the-Art Training
During the Experience Days many engineers visited the Enerpac state-of-the-art training and testing facility. Tom Eggert again, “In addition to comprehensive training for customers we also use the facility for training our own technicians. When companies rent from us, we’re able to supply a technician to support them, ensuring they get the most efficient and safe use of the tool.”
Compact Heavy Lifting
The Enerpac Deer Park facility is also home to a large inventory of heavy lifting tools and systems including hydraulic telescopic gantries, strand jacks and synchronized lifting systems. Smaller, more compact heavy lift systems are increasingly popular for factory moves and on-site projects where space is limited. Visitors had the opportunity to see many of these in action in the Enerpac Heavy Lifting Roadshow container including the compact ML40 hydraulic gantry, SCJ-Series cube jacks and EMLS/EMV Series Battery-Powered Machine Skates.
