Expander® Tooling

By design, Expander System pivot pins are simple to install and remove with standard tools, thanks to the tapered axle and expanding sleeves. But with Expander tooling, it’s even faster and more controlled to install and remove the pins and sleeves, especially when working with larger pin systems.

HANDLE WITH EASE

The Expander System is by its design, with large conical ends, easy to install and remove with the use of general tooling (i.e. torque wrench, sockets and hammer). Swap traditional methods that require sledgehammers and hydraulic pullers for Expander features and tools. Doing so, you’ll not only improve work safety, but also make the task at hand significantly easier to complete, especially when working with large pins (Ø >100 mm).
