Inspections of 700 bar hydraulics can only be done is a correct manner by competent persons. To ensure the competence, all the technicians at Siamhandtools received full training from Holmatro, teaching them in basics hydraulics, repairs, maintenance, problem analysis, and inspection. Enabling them to provide safe and reliable hydraulic tools.

After an intensive training period with Holmatro, all of the testing equipment and specialist tools needed to carry out the servicing and repairs of hydraulic cylinders, pumps, hoses, control valves, mechanical and lifting tools were installed in the new service center.
