HI-FORCE, the leading UK-based manufacturer of high pressure hydraulic tools and equipment has launched its 2012 catalogue. Consisting of over 1,900 products and spread across 192 pages, the new Hi-Force 2012 catalogue is by far the biggest and most comprehensive offering.
The catalogue, which is full of technical and company information, also includes the latest additions to the Hi-Force range. Most notably, the PB hydraulic pipe bender, which has proved to be one of the most popular products, with already a healthy number of enquires and orders placed just after the new catalogue was launched.
The hydraulic pipe bender has been designed to bend various sizes and thicknesses of JIS standardised conduit pipe and gas pipe ranging from 15 mm – 82 mm (1/2-inch to 3-inch). Made of aluminium, the bending frame is compact and lightweight so that it can be easily carried on and off site and can be operated by any Hi-Force manual or powered pump up to 700 Bar. To compliment the pipe bender a range of bending shoes are also available to ensure a smooth wrinkle free bend.
Also new to the range is: the GTB and PTB tyre bead breakers, the HP211 aluminium manually operated hand pump weighing just 2 kg, the HTW2000B manual torque wrench with a capacity of 2000Nm, the HT3000 and HT4500 torque multipliers with capacities up to 3000Nm and 4500Nm respectively, the new range of air driven hydrotest pumps – AHP3, the SJS10-M jaw spreader with built-in manually operated hand pump and finally the addition of the Toughlift tool box which has been specifically designed to store and protect Hi-Force Toughlift accessories.
Other changes to look out for are the ERA’s (extended reaction arms) which have been added to both the TWS-N and TWH-N hydraulic torque wrench series allowing for greater user versatility; the Hi-Force manually operated foot pump is now available both with (HP227FPC) and without (HP227FP) a pressure gauge; mounting block and hose, and protective bellows have been added to the HPC range of single acting pull cylinders.
Designed and produced in-house by the Hi-Force marketing department, this latest release of the Hi-Force catalogue is the biggest and best offering from Hi-Force to date.
Commenting on the completion of the Hi-Force catalogue, sales and marketing director Mar Noordhoek says: “It is always a great feeling to release a new version of the Hi-Force catalogue that we are confident is even better than the previous issue.
“We believe we have created a first class catalogue based around our customers’ needs that is easy to use and packed full of helpful and technical information. Each year there is tremendous growth within our company and we feel that this latest catalogue reflects that success.”
With many new products launched, Hi-Force continues to invest heavily in the group’s manufacturing facility as well as placing emphasis on the research and development.
