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.
Why Turning Gear Systems Matter in Wind Turbines
In everyday field work, a turning gear system enables technicians to rotate turbine components slowly and safely during installation, inspection, and maintenance. With that level of control, teams can reduce uneven loading, protect bearings, and improve safety. RAD designs its wind turbine turning gear kits specifically for high-torque, precision-critical applications, making them a trusted solution across wind projects throughout Indiana and the greater Midwest.
Rent or Own a RAD Wind Dual Turbine Turning Gear Kit?
Choosing whether to rent or own a RAD turning gear kit depends on project scope and frequency: Renting is ideal for short-term projects, seasonal maintenance, or one-off turbine shutdowns. Renting reduces upfront capital costs while ensuring access to calibrated, job-ready equipment—an advantage for contractors managing fluctuating workloads. Owning a turning gear kit makes sense for operators with ongoing service schedules or large turbine portfolios. It delivers long-term cost efficiency, immediate availability, and standardized tooling across crews. To help teams make the right choice, Industrial Bolting works closely with wind-energy operators to evaluate project demands and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
RAD Torque Guns for Wind Energy Applications
Wind-energy technicians rely on RAD torque guns for tower flange bolts, nacelle connections, and blade-related fasteners. RAD engineers its tools for accuracy, durability, and ergonomics, supporting both installation and preventive maintenance programs. Industrial Bolting provides RAD gun
