Description
Concrete pump trucks and batching plants pour the floors and towers rising in every Vietnamese city. Also, their pumps, outriggers and mixers work under heavy, pulsing loads. The Snap-on TE175LC Torqometer gives the service crew a dial wrench with a lamp that flashes at the target value. So they can get each bolt right on a busy site, even when they cannot watch the needle.
Pump truck and plant joints for the Snap-on TE175LC Torqometer
- S-valve, hopper and agitator mounting bolts.
- Delivery line clamp and pipe bracket bolts on the boom.
- Outrigger and subframe bolts within the dial range.
- Mixer liner, arm and gearbox bolts at the batching plant.
Each value still comes from the truck or plant maker. So keep the service manual at hand, and use the TE175LC only where it gives a torque value.
Base model figures for the TE175LC

Snap-on prints the base TE175L in the US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy table of catalog CAT1500i. Per that catalog, a C suffix orders the certificate of calibration version. So the TE175LC is the C form, and Lost in HCM’s title reads with Chart.
Lamp signal on a loud site
A pump truck runs its engine and hydraulics during most checks, and the site around it rarely goes quiet. In that noise, a dial alone can therefore lead to an overshoot. The TE175LC adds a built-in light that flashes as soon as the targeted torque arrives. Then the mechanic stops pulling and moves to the next bolt.
Useful range of the TE175LC
Lost in HCM lists this wrench under US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy. In Snap-on’s definition, a Standard wrench stays within 2% of reading once the load passes 20% of full scale. For this dial, the band runs from 35 ft-lb to 175 ft-lb, or about 237 N·m. Larger outrigger bolts may need the 250 ft-lb TE250L, while small cover bolts need a lighter tool.
Concrete dust and cleanup
Cement slurry also hardens fast on any tool left near the hopper. Therefore wipe the Snap-on TE175LC Torqometer clean right after use, and never rinse the dial with a hose. Also store it in its PBR5 case in the cab, not on the deck. Never use it to free seized bolts, and book periodic recalibration.

Concrete equipment FAQ
Can the TE175LC tighten boom pins?
Only if the pump truck maker lists a torque within 175 ft-lb. Many pin retainers use other methods, so follow the boom manual.
What case comes with the TE175LC?
The catalog lists a PBR5 storage case for the base TE175L row. Ask Lost in HCM what else ships with the chart version.
Does the TE175LC dial show N·m?
No, the TE175L row lists ft-lb only. Multiply by about 1.356, so 175 ft-lb equals roughly 237 N·m.
