PLARAD is a German-based manufacturer of high-quality torque and tension tools and bolting systems with more than 60 years of engineering expertise and innovation in industrial bolting technology.
They design and produce a comprehensive range of torque wrenches, tensioners, power units, and accessories for precision bolting applications in demanding environments. Their portfolio includes battery-powered, electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic torque wrenches, manual torque multipliers, hydraulic power packs, and single- or multi-stage tensioners — all engineered for reliable, reproducible tightening of bolted joints.
PLARAD’s torque tools deliver controlled and accurate torque for both assembly and maintenance tasks. Hydraulic torque wrenches, for example, offer high torque output in confined spaces, making them suitable for large-scale industrial projects. Their tensioners handle axial load control and bolt stretch, ensuring secure and durable joints in applications where predictability and safety are critical.
These tools are primarily used in heavy industry, including mechanical engineering, energy and power generation, wind energy (on- and offshore), oil and gas, transportation and steel construction sectors around the world. With robust “Made in Germany” quality and global application, PLARAD’s products support precision bolting in the most demanding settings.
