Why did they hack the hydraulic fitting off with an angle grinder? Here is the jack on the milling machine, getting the remains of the fitting removed.

The help you need.

In our experience, there are many things that would make the repair and service of post tensioning equipment (particularly stress pumps) much easier, that are either simply not available, or overpriced. Our aim is to make those things available, for a reasonable price, enabling those who service post tensioning equipment to do a quick and professional job, without breaking the bank.

Importantly, equipment that is well repaired should last longer on site, and cause less down time in the long run.

For instance, a small transformer mounted on a vertical surface in an electrical box should not rattle and come loose because of poor design, but they do, and they should not require a technician to invent creative solutions to stick them back up, but they do! The same could be said for pressure reliefs which fail prematurely, suction strainers that break, wobbly electrical boxes, and the list goes on………..

Let’s see if we can rectify that.

You will notice that our range of products is still in its’ infancy, and we apologise for that, but to make it more complete, we need your help to tell us what you need and what would make your life and work easier.

We also aim to provide good quality products that are, if at all possible, made in Australia (though often from imported materials). Some of them we make ourselves, and some we have made for us by experts from other industries, but all of them should admirably serve your purposes (and we expect you to tell us if they don’t).

We are also able to service jacks and stress pumps, or elements of them (e.g., re-machining motor commutators, repairing DCVs or getting rods re-chromed), and we may also be interested in buying any, still complete, written off stress pump or jack you might want to get rid of.

Please get in touch for our product list, and scroll down for our highlighted parts. If you want to buy in bulk from us, we can probably do you a deal, so ask!

Modified relief valve on a 30t stressing jack – note slot machined in end cap for later adjustment. Normally the shroud that covers the valve would prevent in situ adjustment.
Machined, polished and deburred commutator from a Powerteam stress pump. A re-machined commutator should wear out the carbon brushes more slowly, and minimise arcing across the segments.
We would normally also seat in the new brushes when the motor is first run up again, so the brushes contour more accurately to the shape of the commutator, and this process results in an immediate drop in the arcing.
