• Quick-Change Ratchet Links: Allows tool-free swapping of link sizes in the field for efficient adjustments.
• Robust Construction: Signature red housing represents quality, durability, and reliability, with over 100,000 XLCT units in use globally since 1992.

Accessories:

• HYTORC Washer and Nut: Compatible for secure, hands-free bolting.
• ALCO Arm: Reaction arm for low-clearance hydraulic tools.
• HYTORC Nut Driver: Converts torque into tension, preventing galling.
• Reaction Plate Kits: Various reaction fixtures for diverse bolting needs.
• Hex Reducers and Socket Adaptors: Square and hex adapters for varying nut sizes (1/2" to 3 1/2", standard and custom).
• Heavy-Duty Case: Included for storage and portability.

Applications: Ideal for low-clearance, high-torque bolting in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, aerospace, and infrastructure (e.g., roller coasters, bridges, and heavy machinery).
