GET STARTED

For over 30 years, our team of expert engineers have designed tailor made bolting solutions for clients in diverse and dynamic industries such as mining, manufacturing, power distribution, power generation, infrastructure, heavy machinery, material handling , and machine building. If you build it, we can bolt it.

MEASURE WHAT MATTERS

Did you know that measuring bolt torque can be highly inaccurate, with a margin of error of up to 30% and deviations of up to 100% observed in extreme cases?

Traditional torque methods measure resistance when turning bolts, offering limited insight into actual bolt tension. Depending solely on torque can lead to loose connections, causing breakdowns, downtime, and safety risks.

SmartBolts’ Visual Indication System™ accurately depicts bolt tension in real-time, turning from red to black as the proper tension is reached — giving you total peace of mind. Trust your critical joints are secure with SmartBolts.

“We were looking for a system where we could visually verify the tightness of the bolts. We want our customers to have complete confidence that our shiploader will operate reliably and safely.
The clear visual indication of a loss of tension is reassuring to workers and inspectors alike — and I was really happy to see the consistent results when we tested the heavy duty SmartBolts.”
