Flange Spreaders

Hydraulic and Mechanical Flange Spreaders

Equalizer innovative flange spreaders under the Trusted Enerpac Brand

These flange spreaders use mechanical and hydraulic principles for separating flanges and can spread small, medium or large flange joints. Tool selection is made on the basis of the access gap between the flange faces, the flange size and the required scope of work.

Equalizer tools provide a safe, cost effective and simple solution for your flange alignment, flange spreading and flange pulling applications. The Equalizer range of tools have been developed to simplify the maintenance of flange joints. The tools use mechanical and hydraulic power for separating, aligning and connecting small, medium or large flanges joints.

The world-leading Equalizer flange maintenance tools joined the Enerpac portfolio in 2019. The same patented product innovation, safety and reliability is available under the Enerpac brand. Find your nut splitters and cutters, flange pulling, spreading and flange alignment tools with the added training, application support and service from the Enerpac network.
