Precision is everything when it comes to industrial bolting. Even the slightest miscalculation in bolt tension can compromise structural integrity, safety, and performance. At
Industrial Bolting, we support industries like construction, manufacturing, and energy with reliable bolt-testing solutions designed for uncompromising accuracy. When selecting a bolt tension calibrator, one important question often arises:
Should you rent or buy? The answer depends on your project scope, testing frequency, and available resources. Our team can help you choose the most cost-effective and operationally efficient solution.
The Case for Purchasing Bolt Load Testing Equipment
Owning a calibrator makes strategic and financial sense for regular bolt tension verification companies. Purchasing your equipment comes with the following benefits:
- Eliminates recurring rental costs
- Ensures immediate availability for time-sensitive or emergency inspections
- Promotes standardization across teams and job sites
- Improves quality control and reduces training inconsistencies
At Industrial Bolting, our
tool sales department offers Skidmore-Wilhelm™ and Norwolf Calibore™ bolt testers—two of the most trusted names in the industry. Engineered for precision and reliability, these tools deliver accurate tension readings that help maintain safety and code compliance on every job.
