The Enerpac Square Drive Aluminium Hydraulic Torque Wrench, DSX11000, combines exceptionally high torque output with a lightweight design that prioritises operator safety and efficiency. Delivering a maximum torque of 14,914 Nm through its 1 ½-inch square drive, this tool is built for demanding bolting applications where both power and safety are critical. At 14.4 kg, the DSX11000 is considerably lighter than steel-bodied alternatives, making it easier to transport, position, and operate in challenging environments.

This model is part of the DSX-Series, a range designed specifically for industries where working at height, handling efficiency, and operator safety are non-negotiable. Its aluminium body delivers the strength required for heavy-duty performance without unnecessary bulk, while innovative design features set a new benchmark in hydraulic torque wrench technology.

One of the defining aspects of the DSX11000 is its suite of patented safety innovations. The tool incorporates a built-in tether connection point, ensuring secure attachment when used at height and significantly reducing the risk of dropped-object incidents. A retained reaction arm with a patented quick-release mechanism provides the strength and flexibility needed on site, while its retained design prevents complete detachment, further enhancing user safety. Together, these features minimise downtime caused by safety hazards and provide reassurance in environments where dropped tools can have serious consequences.

The DSX11000 also integrates a fully enclosed drive system, preventing accidental entanglement or exposure to moving parts. Its ergonomic safety handle, which can be mounted on either side of the wrench, improves grip and manoeuvrability while also helping to reduce operator fatigue. These thoughtful design elements make the wrench more practical to use in confined spaces and under challenging conditions.

For applications in hazardous or explosive environments, ATEX certification is an essential requirement. The DSX11000 is CE and ATEX declared, giving operators the confidence to use it safely in sensitive workplaces such as petrochemical facilities, offshore operations, and power generation sites. Each unit is also supplied with a calibration certificate, ensuring that accuracy and compliance are guaranteed from the outset.

In terms of performance, the DSX11000 delivers a constant torque output with an accuracy of ±3% across the full stroke. Its fine-tooth ratchet mechanism prevents the tool from locking on, allowing for smoother operation and improved reliability. A 35-degree rotation angle combined with a rapid return stroke ensures faster bolting cycles, reducing time on critical tasks. The wrench’s high-cycle design with fewer moving parts translates into lower maintenance demands, easier servicing, and a longer operational life – all contributing to reduced total cost of ownership.

While the DSX11000 is packed with advanced safety and performance features, it remains accessible to a wide range of users thanks to its mid-range pricing. This makes it a compelling choice not only for heavy industrial operators but also for cost-conscious buyers seeking a reliable, high-torque hydraulic wrench without the premium price tag often associated with this level of innovation.

In summary, the Enerpac DSX11000 stands out as a hydraulic torque wrench that balances extreme torque capacity with lightweight handling, patented safety features, and certified performance. Built for demanding applications at height and in hazardous environments, it represents an investment in both productivity and workforce safety.
