Roto Hammer Industries Capabilities

In 1959, Roto Hammer Company was based on the idea of safe, effective manual valve operation. Our founder was William D. Cardwell, a piping and fitting specialist who saw too many field workers getting injured while trying to open stubborn valves in hard-to-reach areas. Cardwell's solution was to invent and patent the "Roto Hammer", a product which harnessed the principle of a hammer striking an anvil to safely open and close stuck or "frozen" valves in a manner that protected the operator from injury and removed the danger of explosion or fire.

Cardwell set up shop in an abandoned fire station in the Red Fork district of Tulsa, Oklahoma and began manufacturing the Roto Hammer. Fifty years and several additions later, Roto Hammer remains in the same location, and continues to offer the very best in solutions for hard-to-reach or difficult-to-operate valves.

Over the years, our offerings have grown beyond chain wheels to include valve extensions, floor stands, gear operators, and a wide variety of innovative custom solutions. One thing remains the same: we continue to protect employees and equipment by providing companies all over the world with safe, positive, dependable valve operation.
