Description
Port and terminal workshops handle some of the heaviest bolts in Vietnam. The Snap-on TE803 Torqometer covers many of them with an 800 ft-lb dial on a 1 inch drive. Lost in HCM lists this code as “U.S. Basic – TE803”, with no chart. If you need the paperwork too, see the TE803C Basic Torqometer with Chart.
One frame, two codes: TE803 and TE803C
CAT1500i says that wrenches in its US Reading table come without a certificate of calibration. It also says a C suffix orders the certificate models. So both codes share one frame, and the C only changes the paperwork. Lost in HCM words its C listing as “with Chart”, so ask them what that includes.
Catalog figures for the Snap-on TE803 Torqometer
| Item | CAT1500i p.333 |
|---|---|
| Square drive | 1 in |
| Range | 800 ft-lb, about 1,085 N·m |
| Increments | 10 ft-lb |
| Length | 66-13/16 in |
| Width / head depth | 3-9/16 in / 2-1/32 in |
| Handle | 92TQPA 4 ft tubular extension, packed separately |
The same row lists the TE803FU follow-up and TE803L signal codes. Meanwhile, Snap-on’s UK brochure puts Torqometer accuracy at 2% of reading from 20% of full scale. Therefore the TE803 works best from 160 to 800 ft-lb.
Terminal equipment jobs for the TE803
- Axle and wheel end bolts on reach stackers and empty handlers.
- Spreader frame and twistlock housing bolts.
- Gearbox and motor mounts on crane travel drives.
- Slew drive bolts, where the maker gives a torque method.
Some slew rings and wheels need tensioners or angle methods instead. So check the equipment manual before you reach for the Snap-on TE803 Torqometer.
Who should skip the chart
Terminals with a torque bench rated for 800 ft-lb can verify the TE803 themselves. Fleet owners who contract an outside lab often do the same. In both cases, the plain code costs less. By contrast, choose the TE803C when an owner’s audit or a port safety review wants a record on arrival.

Port workshop FAQ
Why does the TE803 come with an extension?
An 800 ft-lb pull takes real leverage. The 92TQPA handle lengthens the lever, so the fitter needs less force at the grip.
Does the TE803 store the peak?
No. It has one needle, while the TE803FU adds a second needle for that job.
