BESPOKE HYDRAULIC CUTTERS

Established in 1996, HTL Group is a controlled bolting and joint integrity specialist. Headquartered in the north east of England with strategically located facilities across the globe, HTL offers a wide range of controlled bolting products, services and training. It provides second to none customer service to ensure that all customers choose HTL as their preferred partner to solve their bolting challenges.

In all industries where hazardous machinery and materials are present, safety is the optimum priority.

Statistics show that 80% of errors which occur during manufacturing are due to human error. For this reason, many companies acquire bespoke equipment tailored to suit their safety and production standards.

Utilising bespoke equipment supports the efficiency and accuracy within the workplace optimising overall machine usage and increasing safe productivity.

HTL Group was approached by a global market leader in dredging and marine services to design and manufacture a special purpose hydraulic cutter for umbilical cables to use on ship decks providing a solution to their problem – a bespoke hydraulic cutter capable of cutting offshore umbilical up to 200mm diameter.

The cutting operation is formed from a hardened steel cutting blade, energised with 400 tonnes of force.

The equipment has significantly improved general and operator safety due to its configuration and remote operation being a safe distance away from any cutting activity.

Some very innovative design features overcome any labour intense complex tasks reducing production downtime onsite by up to 80%.
