German ALTRAD tools ALTRAD models ALTRAD prices

ALTRAD tools are material handling tools for lifting or jacking heavy loads, a type of intermittent-duty tool for raising heavy objects. Most lifting tools begin vertical or combined vertical and horizontal travel after the lifting gear picks up the load, unload at the destination, then return empty to the pickup point to complete one work cycle before performing the second lift. Generally, during operation, picking up, moving, and unloading are carried out sequentially, and the work of the corresponding mechanisms is intermittent. Lifting tools are mainly used to handle piece goods; when equipped with a grab bucket, they can handle bulk materials such as coal, ore, and grain; when equipped with a ladle, they can lift liquid materials such as molten steel. Some lifting tools, such as elevators, can also be used to carry people. In certain application scenarios, lifting equipment is the primary working tool; for example, cranes used for loading and unloading materials at ports and stations are the primary working tools.

ALTRAD tool classification

1) Electric planer: One of the main tools used in woodworking and renovation. It is mainly used for planing flat and straight surfaces of various types of wood; products are available as short planers and roughing planers. Roughing planers are mainly used for planing flat and straight wood surfaces and can process relatively large board surfaces; short planers, in addition to board surface planing, can be used with various guide fences to plane tongues and grooves, edges, and cut slots. The main features of using a handheld electric planer are small size, light weight, portability, and ease of use; compared with hand tools, it can significantly reduce labor intensity and improve processing efficiency and quality. When using a handheld electric planer, hold the handle at the rear of the planer body with your right hand and slightly raise the center of gravity of the rear. After starting the power with your left hand, grip the front guide handle of the planer to lower the center of gravity of the front, and follow the sequence where the front of the planer contacts the wood first; when the rear center of gravity gradually and steadily contacts the planing surface, push the planer body forward smoothly in the direction of planing with both hands. After the planer body completes the planing stroke, lift the front of the planer with your left hand, then pick it up with both hands and return to the starting point for planing; repeat this until all planing is completed. 2) Jigsaw: Also known as an electric coping saw, electric fine saw, etc. It is a multifunctional cutting tool that can cut stock from wooden boards and perform straight or curved cuts on plastic, metal, and other sheet materials; it is particularly suited for cutting complex, varying shapes and geometric figures with small radii of curvature in various sheet materials. It is an essential multifunctional sawing tool for home renovation and various public interior decoration projects, featuring light weight, small size, portability, simple operation, and wide application range. Its cutting principle is that the jigsaw blade is narrow with teeth oriented upward; during operation, the blade moves in a linear reciprocating up-and-down motion to cut, thereby completing various sawing tasks according to dimensional requirements. When used with a guide fence, it can also perform angled bevel processing. When using an electric jigsaw, for smaller and thinner wooden boards, first secure them to a workbench and support the workpiece with your left hand, then hold the saw handle with your right hand and slowly push forward to cut; apply steady and even force during operation, avoiding excessive force to prevent injury or damage to the blade; for larger boards, wait until the board is securely fixed, then hold the saw handle with both hands and push forward to cut. Follow the marked line during cutting and always keep the blade perpendicular to the board surface to prevent binding or jamming. 3) Circular saw: Also known as a small handheld circular saw. It is a new type of small handheld electric saw equipped with a spring-loaded automatic safety guard and an electronically controlled constant-speed motor, featuring simple operation, flexible use, quick adjustment, and safe and reliable performance; it is well suited for cutting various wooden boards and fiberboard materials in home renovation. The thickness of wood or boards being cut should generally be 60mm or less. 4) Sanding tools: Also known as small handheld grinders. They are mainly used for sanding bare wood before painting various wood finishes, and can also be used for sanding putty coatings; however, sanding putty generates significant dust, which seriously pollutes the environment, so enhanced personal protective measures are required during operation. Handheld grinders include belt sanders and orbital sanders, among other types. Belt sanders are mainly used for rapid sanding of wooden components and wood products, while orbital sanders are commonly used for sanding larger areas such as wooden floors in home renovation. 5) Small router: Also known as a groove planer or trimmer. It can be used to cut slots, tenons, holes, rabbets, mill patterns, and trim edges on various wood products and components; it can also perform simple rabbeting, milling, grooving, and trimming on light metal materials such as aluminum alloy and plastic-steel, such as aluminum alloy (or plastic-steel) doors and windows, balcony frames, and furniture frames, making it one of the commonly used power tools in modern home renovation projects.

ALTRAD tool usage

1) Select the appropriate saw blade for the workpiece; for example, use 14 teeth per inch for cutting solid or thick soft metals; use 18 teeth per inch for tool steel, iron pipes, and hard metals; and 24 teeth per inch are suitable for cutting metal sheets, metal pipes, and thin iron strips. 2) Push the saw forward, and gently lift it on the return stroke. 3) Select wrenches of appropriate size according to the nature of the work. 4) When using an adjustable wrench, apply force toward the fixed jaw; never apply force toward the movable jaw. 5) If the wrench jaws are worn or slip during use, do not continue using them to avoid slipping. 6) Do not use a wrench as a hammer for striking. 5. Do not fit a pipe over the end of the wrench handle to increase torque. 7) Press the inner side of the first leg of the square against the edge of the wooden board, and draw along the inner side of the second leg with a pencil to mark a perpendicular line. 8) Select the appropriate screwdriver according to the size and shape of the screw head slot. 9) Do not strike the screwdriver handle with a hammer; replace handles that are damaged immediately. 10) Do not use a screwdriver as a chisel or lever. 11) Use an electrician's screwdriver to test current; do not use a general-purpose screwdriver to test high voltage. 12) Do not grind the screwdriver tip to avoid damaging the hardened surface. 13) Do not place screwdrivers in shirt or trouser pockets to avoid injury from impacts or falls.

ALTRAD tool types and features

Hydraulic tools include: hydraulic wrenches, dedicated electric pumps for hydraulic wrenches, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic bolt tensioners, hydraulic flange spreaders, hydraulic nut splitters, hydraulic pullers, etc. Hydraulic tools offer the advantages of high efficiency and convenience. 1) Mineral oil is generally used as the working medium; the relative moving surfaces are self-lubricating, resulting in long service life. 2) Light weight, small size, low movement inertia, and fast response speed. 3) Various hydraulic transmission components can be arranged conveniently and flexibly as needed. 4) Automatic overload protection can be implemented. 5) Operation and control are convenient, enabling wide-range stepless speed regulation (speed regulation range up to 2000:1). 6) Linear motion is easily achieved. 7) Machine automation is easily achieved; when electro-hydraulic combined control is adopted, not only a higher degree of automatic control can be realized, but remote control is also possible.
