TP sea fastening and installation of offshore wind turbines
RAD torque wrenches are widely used for bolting jobs for transport and assembly of offshore wind turbines. RAD tools are robust, fast, accurate and can be used in all weather conditions.
Cable carousel
The construction of cable carousels requires accurate torquing of hundreds of heavy bolts. RAD torque wrenches are mobile, fast and accurate and can be used in all weather conditions. These are some examples why RAD tools are used worldwide for this application.
Bolting at height
RAD battery torque wrenches can be equipped with drop prevention lanyards and enable the operator to work at height safely and effortlessly, without the hassle of hoses, cords or heavy pumps.
Testimonial
A project engineer on the Gemini offshore wind farm project explains:
“The RAD Torque Systems E-RAD BLU came out on top in the bolt preload test. The electric drive ensures a continuous rotation of the bolt, while with a hydraulic wrench the bolt rotates approximately 24 degrees per cycle. That saves a lot of valuable offshore time. In addition, Radial provided us with a number of accessories that make our work ergonomically easier”.

Accessories
Drop prevention
Radial offers several safety options, such as drop prevention brackets for safely working at height.
Impact Sockets
Radial carries a large stock of impact sockets. From small to large sizes, standard height or deep sockets, Allen, 4, 6, 8 or 12-point, everything is available from stock or on request.
Smart Sockets™
The RAD Smart Socket™ Series, patented impact sockets from 27 mm – 110 mm that are able to measure the actual torque applied to the bolted joint with a maximum deviation of 1%. Uses RAD’s transducer technology implemented in a custom socket in order to measure the actual torque applied to the bolt during a torque cycle. By innovative design, the Smart Socket™ is no larger than a standard socket. Its compact size and innovative technology make the Smart Socket™ a perfect audit tool for inspecting bolted joints and can function as a master calibration for various torque tools.
