RADIX 8000 PTM
Precision Ground Screw Torque Measurement
The RADIX 8000 PTM is the next generation in torque monitoring, a fully wireless, precision-engineered system developed in collaboration with Datum Electronics, global leaders in torque and strain measurement technology. Specifically designed for ground screws, screw piles and helical piles, the system delivers fast, accurate torque verification, giving engineers and contractors confidence in every installation.
Work With Confidence
Compact, lightweight (7.5kg) and engineered for durability, the RADIX 8000 PTM is built for the most demanding site environments. Rated to IP65, it withstands dust, dirt and water ingress, ensuring reliability in all weather conditions.
Operators receive real-time performance data direct to their smartphone, tablet, or the rugged tablet provided, with readings on torque, RPM, insertion angle and depth logged automatically. This makes it simple to validate pile capacity, maintain installation quality, and issue permit-to-load documentation without delay.
Max torque rating: 8,000 Nm
Connection type: 1.5” square to 1.5” square (for handheld ground screw machines)
Power: Long-life rechargeable battery
Dimensions: Ø167 mm × 168 mm

Why Measuring Torque Matters in Screw Pile Installation
Accurate Load Capacity Verification
Torque readings directly correlate to soil resistance, allowing engineers and installers to accurately estimate the load-bearing capacity of each pile without overdesigning or over-installing. This prevents unnecessary material use, and time while ensuring structural integrity.
Real-Time Quality Assurance
Measuring torque on-site ensures every screw pile is installed to the specified design criteria. Pile install logs are available for quality control and immediate verification, avoiding costly rework or structural failure later.
Compliance with Engineering Specifications
Many engineering and building codes require documented torque readings as proof of proper installation. This provides a clear, traceable record for sign-off and warranty compliance.
Early Problem Detection
Unexpected torque variations can indicate obstructions, voids, or weak soil layers before the project progresses. This allows for corrective action on the spot, avoiding expensive remediation.
Consistency Across the Project
Torque monitoring ensures that all piles meet uniform performance standards, regardless of operator or equipment. This delivers consistent quality across large-scale installations.
Cost Efficiency & Time Savings
Accurate torque measurement eliminates unnecessary testing and reduces the risk of overdriving piles. This saves labour, equipment wear, and material costs.
Client Confidence & Transparency
Providing torque data demonstrates a commitment to accuracy and accountability. This builds trust with stakeholders and enhances your professional reputation.
