Tools & Industrial Equipment

Overview

Tools & Industrial Equipment are the backbone of every maintenance and installation operation in an industrial facility. Choosing the right tool at the right specification does more than improve productivity — it reduces hazards, protects the components being worked on, and extends the service life of the tool itself.

What It Includes

Hand & Power Tools covers hand tools (wrenches, hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, cutters, measuring tools), power tools (drills, grinders, sanders, electric drivers), pneumatic tools (impact wrenches, pneumatic hammers), precision measurement instruments, air compressors, and tool boxes. Material Handling & Lifting covers manual and electric pallet trucks, scissor lifts, hoists and jib cranes, hand trucks, lifting slings and chains, and tie-down and rigging systems.

Applications

Used in mechanical and electrical maintenance workshops, construction and civil sites, industrial installation work, storage warehouses and distribution centers, in-plant maintenance, automotive and heavy-equipment shops, and lifting and transport operations on projects.

How to Select

Hand tools are selected by material grade (chrome-vanadium, hardened steel), the right size for the job, and the professional or light-duty rating. Power tools are selected by supply voltage (corded or battery), motor power, duty cycle, and vibration and noise levels. Lifting and handling equipment is selected by Safe Working Load (SWL), lift height, pallet or load type, and operating environment. Scheduled inspection certification must be considered.

Standards Note

Hand and power tools follow ISO, EN, ANSI, and DIN references. Lifting equipment follows EN 1757 for pallet trucks, ISO 6780 for pallets, and LOLER (UK) or ASME B30 (US) regimes. Specifications and certifications vary by product and model; always consult the manufacturer's datasheet and current certification before selection.
