Transport
The most accurate tools for any transport application
Accuracy matters in the transport industry – from accurately bolted assemblies from the wheel nuts on a family car to the track and point bolts on a railway line – accuracy means safety. Our tools are not only the most accurate on the market, but last longer than any other.
With a range of tools from ergonomic wrenches to low vibration power tools, we have the equipment to keep you protected and your projects moving, whether you’re manufacturing vehicles or building railways.
Solutions to match the environment
Every garage, workshop or worksite needs torque tools – but not all torque tools are equal. Our range is specially designed for maximum accuracy, every time.
Torque wrenches – up to 400N.m
Both fast and light to adjust with the clearest possible scale, with ratchets engineered specially for confined spaces.
Torque wrenches – over 400N.m
Simple and robust industrial wrenches with a 20 degree break angle to give the operator time to arrest momentum and deliver the perfect torque.
Torque wrenches – over 400nM
Simple and robust industrial wrenches with a 20 degree break angle to give the operator time to arrest momentum and deliver the perfect torque.
Electronic torque wrenches
Extremely accurate torque data for traceability and quality control from our ProTronic range.
Manual torque multipliers
Precision-engineered gearboxes to precisely multiply the input torque by a fixed ratio, eliminating the need for large torque wrenches.

Engineered to order
For all applications requiring specialist needs not met with standard tools, such as difficult to reach bolts.
Norbar in action
The problem
The rear wheel bolts on the Komatsu 930E dump truck are very deeply set, making access to them by regular means nearly impossible. One typical solution is a bulky nose-extension or inner-hub extension that weighs approximately 50 kg. This requires an additional mechanical support (such as a jack or trolley) for manoeuvring the extension onto each bolt.
Engineering the solution
Norbar offers multiple solutions, however the specially developed SPL508 reaction plate is a lightweight option weighing only 15 kg – approximately 70% lighter than an equivalent nose-extension type solution. When used in combination with a Norbar PTS or PTM Pneumatic torque multiplier, the technician can comfortably and safely move from one bolt to the next without the need for an expensive and bulky support mechanism such as a jack or trolley.
The results.
Improved safety, from reduced proximity and vibration
Lightweight and easy, usable without any mechanical support
Custom engineered, optimised for this specific vehicle
