Enerpac Launches Lightweight Electric Hydraulic Torque Wrench Pump for Industrial Maintenance!

Enerpac, a global leader in high-pressure hydraulic tools, controlled force products, and heavy lifting solutions, has introduced the LU-Series Lightweight Electric Hydraulic Torque Wrench Pump, a compact and portable solution designed to improve safety, productivity, and ease of operation for intermittent bolting applications. Developed specifically for maintenance, repair, and field-service operations, the new pump offers a lightweight alternative to conventional continuous-duty hydraulic pumps while delivering the performance required for critical bolting tasks.

The LU-Series has been engineered to address the growing demand for portable hydraulic equipment that can be deployed quickly in remote, confined, and challenging industrial environments. As maintenance activities increasingly take place across renewable energy installations, oil and gas facilities, mining operations, and infrastructure projects, technicians require equipment that is easier to transport without compromising performance or reliability.

Weighing just 15 kg when empty, the LU-Series is among the lightest electric hydraulic torque wrench pumps available in its category. Its compact footprint, balanced lifting points, and ergonomic design allow operators to carry, position, and operate the equipment with significantly less physical effort than traditional hydraulic pumps, which often weigh between 30 and 40 kg. The lightweight construction enables faster deployment, reduces operator fatigue, and improves overall maintenance efficiency, particularly in locations where accessibility is limited.

Designed exclusively for hydraulic torque wrench applications, the LU-Series delivers hydraulic pressures of up to 700 bar and is fully compatible with Enerpac’s range of hydraulic torque wrenches. The pump provides reliable and precise hydraulic power for a wide variety of controlled bolting operations, making it suitable for maintenance work in industries where bolt integrity and accurate torque application are essential for operational safety and equipment reliability.

To ensure dependable performance in demanding industrial environments, Enerpac has equipped the LU-Series with several durability and safety features. The pump incorporates a rugged roll-cage frame that protects critical components during transportation and field use, reinforced front-end protection for enhanced impact resistance, and an integrated over-temperature monitoring system that safeguards the equipment during extended operation. The pump has been tested for more than 50,000 operating cycles and is designed to perform reliably in temperatures ranging from -34°C to 50°C, making it suitable for both extreme cold and high-temperature industrial environments.

The launch comes at a time when India is witnessing significant investments in renewable energy, oil and gas, mining, and large-scale infrastructure development. Maintenance teams working at wind turbine installations, offshore platforms, mining sites, refineries, and heavy industrial plants are increasingly required to operate in remote and difficult-to-access locations where transporting heavy hydraulic equipment presents logistical challenges. The LU-Series has been specifically developed to address these operational requirements by combining portability with high-performance hydraulic capability.

Commenting on the launch, Anindya Pal, Director of Enerpac India, said maintenance professionals today require equipment that can be transported easily and deployed rapidly, particularly when working in remote or demanding environments. He noted that whether supporting wind energy projects, offshore facilities, mining operations, or industrial maintenance programmes, portability plays an increasingly important role in improving operational efficiency. According to Pal, the LU-Series combines compact design, robust durability, and dependable performance to help customers complete critical bolting operations more safely, quickly, and efficiently.

By significantly reducing the physical effort associated with moving conventional hydraulic pumps, the LU-Series offers greater flexibility for maintenance teams while enabling faster response times during planned maintenance and emergency repair work. The product is available globally through Enerpac’s distributor network and is supported in India through local service capabilities, technical support, and operator training programmes conducted by the Enerpac Academy in Bengaluru.

The introduction of the LU-Series further strengthens Enerpac’s comprehensive portfolio of bolting solutions and demonstrates the company’s continued commitment to developing innovative technologies that improve safety, productivity, and reliability across demanding industrial applications. As industries continue to prioritise operational efficiency and workforce safety, lightweight and portable maintenance equipment such as the LU-Series is expected to play an increasingly important role in supporting modern industrial operations.
