The WTC Machinery electric track torque wrench serves two purposes; installing bolts to precision torque and remove worn hardware.  The WTC EL10000 and EL8000 have proven themselves to safely, efficiently and accurately do both.  Instead of following the past time consuming and unsafe practice of torching out old hardware because your wrench cannot handle the job, use the WTC EL10000 or EL8000 to remove the bolts effortlessly.

    Workplace Safety – the pain in the a$$ that may prevent a pain in you’re a$$... We have all worked somewhere that has had a workplace “accident”, right?  Have you ever thought to yourself, “You know what?  That could’ve been prevented if he’d just fill in the blank with appropriate action…”  Well you’re right!  “We don’t work in a dangerous environment. We work in a hazardous environment that we make dangerous by not following safe work procedures and wearing our PPE.” -Brad Miles Now granted, it often seems like a hassle to use the safety door or strap on that safety harness, right?  It would be quicker to just reach in there quick and make whatever adjustment you need without taking the time to shut everything off, then make your changes, and finally to restart what you were doing… But here’s the thing: I’m willing to bet you’d think it was a lot less of a hassle while you’re thinking back on what you could’ve done differently from your hospital bed. According to OSHA, the number of workplace accidents has been steadily rising over the past 15 years, with 2016 having the highest number of incidents since 2003!  ...

    “There are three kinds of people in this world: Those that makes things happen, those who wait for things to happen, and those who wonder what the heck just happened.” – Unknown   In the world of shipping and receiving, it is imperative to NOT be one of those people that wonders what the hell just happened…for example, you don’t want to be the person that is wondering what to do now that you’re looking at the damaged piece of equipment that you unloaded…and signed for…and the truck has already pulled out of your dock… So how do we avoid being one of those people?  You perform delivery inspections!  That is to say, inspect your shipments before you sign for the delivery!  I know that sometimes the shop is really busy, and this is an inconvenient hassle, but in the end it will save so much time and help to eliminate headaches.  Make it a mandatory part of your SOP to perform delivery inspections before signing any receiveing paperwork, and before you know it your regular drivers will come to expect it.

    • How to Safely Use a Portable Track Pin Press Posted 11 months ago
      If you’ve ever had a machine break down in the field, you know how tempting it can be to try to make a quick fix yourself. Often that means grabbing a sledgehammer or other tool and taking a few whacks at the broken pin. For reasons that should be obvious, this isn’t a great idea. You’re much better off using a track pin press.  Why You Should Keep the Hammer in the Toolbox Track pin presses are a much safer alternative to using sledgehammers or other strong-arm methods when removing and installing track pins. They use hydraulic pressure to apply force to the pin, which eliminates the need for manual hammering. This reduces the risk of injury, especially to the hands and arms, and prevents damage to the equipment.  WTC Machinery offers portable track pin presses designed specifically to make field operations easier and safer. They are available in different sizes and configurations, with ratings from 100 tons on up to 250 tons, giving you plenty of power for even the largest dozers and excavators.  Our portable track pin presses are available as standalone ...
