January is the month when maintenance budgets meet the reality of outages. You can plan every minute of a turnaround—and still lose hours to one thing: rework at the joint. A leaking flange, a stripped stud, or a snapped bolt doesn’t just slow a crew down; it can bring a project to a halt. It […]

January is when Q1 maintenance budgets meet real-world outage schedules. Lead times shrink, crews get committed, and big-ticket work shows up quickly—often before procurement is ready. For projects across the Midwest, especially in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin, Industrial Bolting offers responsive field support, certified technicians, and flexible torque tool rental options that help teams […]

Industrial Bolting knows January outages come with a familiar challenge: do it fast, do it right, and document it. Whether you’re breaking flanges on a heat exchanger, checking turbine hardware, or verifying structural connections, the right torque tool makes the difference. If tool delays threaten your window, our same-week B-RAD gun rentals help you keep […]

January is when outage calendars fill up fast—budgets reset, maintenance plans sharpen, and in the Midwest, winter conditions add another layer of complexity to already tight turnaround schedules. If your team is planning Q1 shutdowns, now is the time to lock in controlled bolting support before crews, tools, and field specialists book out. Industrial Bolting […]

Winter conditions can take a serious toll on industrial tools. At Industrial Bolting, we often see an increase in torque-wrench performance issues during colder months—especially in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin, where rapid temperature swings are common. Cold weather does more than make jobsites uncomfortable; it can directly affect torque accuracy, reliability, and tool lifespan. […]

Across Indiana and the greater Midwest, aerospace manufacturing continues to accelerate. New aircraft programs, supplier expansions, and rising demand are pushing assembly lines to operate faster and more efficiently. Industrial Bolting supports aerospace manufacturers throughout Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Illinois, helping teams adapt to changing production requirements with short-term hydraulic torque wrench rentals. As production […]

At Industrial Bolting, we understand that achieving safe, reliable bolted connections requires more than simply hitting a torque value. Bolt load testing plays a critical role in verifying actual clamp load—not just applied torque. Whether you’re supporting industrial facilities in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, or Wisconsin, or managing projects nationwide, relying on torque alone can leave […]

For decision-makers overseeing turbine installation, commissioning, and long-term maintenance, having reliable, high-precision torque tooling is critical. Industrial Bolting supports wind energy projects across Indiana and the greater Midwest with RAD wind turbine turning gear kits and RAD torque gun rentals and sales designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern wind turbines.

In heavy-industry bolting operations, torque tools deliver critical performance — but those same tools can also pose serious health risks. At Industrial Bolting, we help companies understand and manage one of the most significant concerns related to vibration exposure: Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). HAVS is a cumulative occupational injury caused by repeated vibration exposure, making […]

Industrial torque tools are built for demanding environments, but even the most reliable equipment eventually shows signs of wear. As colder temperatures settle across the U.S.—especially throughout the Midwest—hydraulic and pneumatic torque tools become more susceptible to performance issues. At Industrial Bolting, we provide expert torque tool calibrations and understand how winter conditions can thicken […]
