Enerpac: Proven Collaborative Expertise

The decision for Enerpac - a renowned global market leader in high-pressure hydraulic tools and components - to partner with Blackwoods was a very simple one, says Darryl Lange, Enerpac’s Sales Director, Key Accounts for Australia, New Zealand, and PNG.

“Blackwoods’ hydraulics and mechanical industry experience and expertise is really exceptional”, says Mr Lange, “and their national reach means there’s always a range of our products stocked, as well as supported, wherever it’s needed.”

The Enerpac brand is considered the industry standard in aerospace, infrastructure, manufacturing, mining, power generation, oil & gas and more; their reputation for excellence under the most intense and demanding conditions makes them the perfect fit for Blackwoods. For Darryl Lange, the key to the partnership is collaboration.

“We know that if an enquiry comes through for a complex project, we can rely on Blackwoods team to analyse the issues, and help provide the right solution for the customer,’ he says.

A case in point is the recent collaboration job where we worked on a torque and tension project for the Sydney Harbour Bridge that required technical support. Following a joint call, an onsite visit was organised with members of Blackwoods and Enerpac to understand the client’s needs.

With the situation fully assessed, an Enerpac system solution was recommended to provide precision torque tooling, to set the correct torque for new bridge rivets.

Blackwoods provided delivery of such products as Battery Torque Wrench Pumps, Square Drive Torque Wrenches and Drive Units with Cassettes.

“This sort of collaboration happens on a weekly, sometimes daily basis,” says Mr Lange.

“With our joint expertise, and Blackwoods providing Enerpac products nationally, you can rely on quality and precision every time.”
