Cement mills, crushers and kiln drives hold some of the largest bolts in any plant. The Snap-on TE2003 torque wrench reaches 2,000 ft-lb on a 1 inch square drive, with 25 ft-lb marks on the dial. Simple and direct, it shows the live load while the crew pulls.

TE2003 numbers in Snap-on CAT1500i

Snap-on lists these values on page 333 of the catalog. In metric terms, 2,000 ft-lb is about 2,712 N·m, and each mark is about 34 N·m.

Planning space for the Snap-on TE2003 torque wrench

At 80 inches, the wrench runs roughly 2 meters long. So check the swing arc before you lift it into place, because guards, pipework and handrails often block a full pull. Also plan the stance, since two fitters usually share the effort at high torque while a third reads the dial. Where space runs out, a torque multiplier may suit the joint better than the TE2003.

Heavy joints in cement and mining plants

Typical candidates include crusher frame bolts, girth gear and mill liner bolts, and large gearbox foundations. Kiln tyre and roller assemblies also use big fasteners. Check each maker’s value first, and use the TE2003 where it falls inside the 2,000 ft-lb scale. Because the area near a kiln runs hot, keep the wrench outside the heat zone between pulls. Snap-on rates the Torqometer range for 0–100 °F, or about -18 to 38 °C.

TE2003, TE1503 or TE2005?

The 1 inch TE1503 uses the same 80 inch frame but reads to 1,500 ft-lb. Meanwhile, the TE2005 keeps the 2,000 ft-lb scale and moves to a 1-1/2 inch drive. So choose by socket size first, and then by the highest value your joints need.
