Looks like a trashcan with wheels welded on. My API, ASME & National Board Certifications are expired, but I can still say it doesn't meet code.

Petrochemical machinery engineer. This was on an old 6 throw Atlas Copco. Very reliable machine unfortunately the plant (hydrogen / ethylene) caught fire and was abandoned. Entire refinery eventually shut down and is now being scrapped.

26" open end wrench, 5 feet long used on very large reciprocating compressor piston rod to cross head lock nut. Lifted by an overhead bridge crane, torque measured by a scale attached to the crane hook.

They're made for industrial, assembly line users. Very expensive and require frequent calibration checks (daily in critical industries). Air operated: http://www.flexibleassembly.com/Products/All-Flexible-Assembly-Items_2/Q80PQ1

Take some scans of your house. Very sobering to see where the heating/cooling dollars are going. Can identify some good areas for added insulation (cheap), or new windows/doors. Your electrical panel is another area to scan, very common in industry to perform annual scans of all panels, high...

Correct design of a bolted joint utilizes a series of equations. The torque applied is determined by the following equations (from another post): The torque required for a bolted joint design comes from a long string of calculations, but boils down to a simple linear equation. T = Wp x K x...

Used on very large critical fasteners in the petrochemical, power generation industry. Large pipe flanges, pressure vessels, turbines, compressors. Reaction arm rests against adjacent bolt to resist torque in operation. Still made, hydraulic units are more common, but Mountz equipment is...
