About Hydraulic Tensioning and HTI

Hydraulic tensioning is the ideal method for tightening bolted connections. Hydraulic tensioning eliminates inaccuracies and helps achieve correct bolt loading in critical connections. HTI’s hydraulic tensioning systems can help control the significant costs resulting from incorrectly tightened studs, as well as drive higher efficiency in your assembly process. At HTI, we’ve been building hydraulic tensioners and nuts since 1986.
